Query: NC_021171:4519495 Bacillus sp. 1NLA3E, complete genome
Lineage: Bacillus; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Denitrifying bacterial isolate from the uranium and nitrate contaminated subsurface at the U.S. DOE Oak Ridge Integrated Field Research Center.
Subject: NC_013791:1291339 Bacillus pseudofirmus OF4 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Bacillus pseudofirmus; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from soil in New York State by alkaline enrichment cultures. Because of its pH range and genetic accessibility, this alkaliphile has been extensively used as the model organism for studies of the bioenergetics of life at extremely high pH. This organism is a facultative, extreme alkaliphile that grows non-fermentatively as well as fermentatively in a pH range from near neutral to above pH 11.2.
