Habitat Information
The location of soil sample was collected at Pflugerville lake next to the hike and bike trail. Due to lack of rain the soil was very dry.
Date of Collection: 9/08/2016
Location: 18216 Weiss Lane Pflugerville, TX
Air temperature: 84 degrees F
Humidity: 70%
24-hr Rainfall: 0.00 in
Description and Significance
Micrococcus Yunnanesis is a Gram positive and non spore forming bacteria that can be found isolated inside plant roots of Polyspora Axillaris. Colony morphology is yellowish, smooth appearance, and circular with entire margins. Strains of this microbe have been re-classified numerous times with previous names such as Microccoccus luteus and Sarcina subflava.
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.
