Habitat Information
Describe the location and conditions under which the organism was isolated.
Latitude: 30.14402 degrees Longitude: -97.78506 degrees
It was a cloudy day high of 58 degrees low of 44 degrees on Jan 30th 2015. A spade and a glass mason jar to collet the soil sample. The soil was collected after digging 1 foot below the surface. The location of the soil sample chosen was in a natural ravine off the end of a gated home property Rainfall was 0.0" and the pressure was 28.53" The location was mostly Lewisville silty clay at 1-2 percent slopes.
Description and Significance
Describe the appearance (colonial and cellular), possible antimicrobial activity etc. of the organism, and why the organism might be significant.
Cellular: gram-positive, forms spores, rod-shape
Colonial morphology: filamentous, raised, undulate, medium, aggressive grower, shiny, smooth, creamy white in color
This organism was placed in a lawn plate of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and it had a zone of inhibition
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.
