The soil was collected from a pasture on my father's farm in Lexington, TX at 7:04 pm on September 2, 2015. The weather was dry and 89 degrees F and there had been zero rain in the past 7 days. The soil was collected in a shady area at the back of the pasture along the fence line from about 2 inches beneath the surface and kept at room temperature on the kitchen counter for 2 days.
Description and Significance
Describe the appearance (colonial and cellular), possible antimicrobial activity etc. of the organism, and why the organism might be significant.
Sample 13 is off white opaque, round, regular
Genome Structure
Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence? Include S Ribosomal sequence that you obtained from PCR and sequencing here.
16S Ribosomal sequence
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Physiology and Pathogenesis
Biochemical characteristics, enzymes made, other characteristics that may be used to identify the organism; contributions to environment (if any).
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
