Habitat Information

The location of the soil sample was collected behind an apartment complex inside of a ditch. Due to recent rain of approximately two days the soil was silty clay, with 1 to 3 percent slopes. The depth of digging was from the surface to 2 1/2" down.

Date of Collection: 1/29/2015

Location: 289 Spring Lane Dripping Springs, TX 78620

Air temperature: 60 degrees F

Humidity: 40%

24-hr Rainfall: 20%

Latitude/Longitude: 26.4384N 21.0792W

Solar Radiation: 15.63

Description and Significance

Describe the appearance (colonial and cellular), possible antimicrobial activity etc. of the organism, and why the organism might be significant.

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.


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.
