Query: UCMB5137:1375622 Bacillus atrophaeus UCMB-5137
Lineage: Bacillus atrophaeus; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Rhizosphere; Ukraine. Bacillus atrophaeus UCMB-5137 shows an extraordinary activity in root colonization and plant and crop protection. Isolated from grass rhizosphere in Ukraine in 1976. Ability to colonize plant roots and to inhibit the growth of fungal and bacterial phytopathogens on inoculated seedlings and harvested fruits.
Subject: NC_009077:1027357 Mycobacterium sp. JLS, complete genome
Lineage: Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium; Mycobacteriaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from creosote-contaminated soil from the Champion International Superfund site in Libby, Montana, USA. This microbe, along with some others collected at this site, is able to rapidly mineralize 14C-labeled pyrene. Phylogenetic studies based on the rRNA 16S gene confirmed that strains collected at this site were distinct from one another and also from other known Mycobacterium isolates.
