Habitat Information
Describe the location and conditions under which the organism was isolated.
After taking my original soil sample from the loading docks area on Town Lake, off of the shores of the Colorado River and yielding no substantial growth on the agar plate containing 12 samples, I began to work with another student's gram positive sample on 2/27/15.
Basically this aerobic bacteria is found all around the world, near vegetative growth.
This Bacteria has optimum growth conditions and they are as follows: 1.) 28 - 35 degress celsius 2.) Oxygen 3.) Sediment 4.) Food products act as a host
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.
