Species

NCBI: Taxonomy

Genus species

Habitat Information

Describe the location and conditions under which the organism was isolated.

Types of Soil Organism was Found In:

  • Heiden Clay, 5-8% slopes, eroded (most common)
  • Houston Black Clay, 1-3% slopes

Air Temp: 83 Degrees Fahrenheit/ 28 Degrees Celsius

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.
