Query: NC_020419:344000 Uncultured Termite group 1 bacterium phylotype Rs-D17 DNA, complete
Lineage: uncultured Termite group 1 bacterium; enviromental sample; ; ; Elusimicrobia; Bacteria
General Information: The Termite Group 1 (TG1) bacteria are a dominant group in termite guts, where they are part of the symbiotic microbial community that is required for the termite to thrive. The TG1 bacteria are found as intracellular symbionts of various cellulolytic protists.
Subject: NC_009662:222964 Nitratiruptor sp. SB155-2, complete genome
Lineage: Nitratiruptor; Nitratiruptor; Nautiliaceae; Nautiliales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent in the Iheya North field in the Mid-Okinawa Trough, Japan as part of a larger diversity study. This rod-shaped bacterium grows chemolithoautotrophically and can utilize a wide spectrum of electron donors and acceptors (i.e. hydrogen, sulfur compounds, nitrate and oxygen). It can occupy different ecological niches, and its metabolic versatility probably enables it to adapt to the geochemical variability in deep-sea hydrothermal environments.
