Complete genome of the mutualistic, [N.sub.2]-fixing grass endophyte Azoarcus sp. Strain BH72
Article Abstract:
Azoarcus sp. Strain BH72, a mutualistic endophyte of rice and other grasses supplies biologically fixed nitrogen to its host and colonizes plants in high numbers without eliciting disease symptoms. Genome comparison with the Azoarcus-related soil bacterium strain EbN1 revealed a low degree of synteny and strain BH72 appears disarmed compared to plant pathogens, having only a few enzymes that degrade plant cells walls.

Genome sequence of the ubiquitous hydrocarbon-degrading marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis
Article Abstract:
The genomic sequence of the marine, hydrocarbonoclastic bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis strain SK2 that is the first hydrocarbonoclastic bacterium to be sequenced is described. The genome specifies systems for scavenging of nutrients, organic and inorganic nitrogen and oligo-elements, biofilm formation at the oil-water interface, biosurfactant production and niche-specific stress responses.

Complete genome sequence of the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum
Article Abstract:
The complete genome sequence of the model Sorangium strain Sorangium cellulosum So ce56 is described. It has produced many natural products having morphological and physiological properties typical of genus. Analysis shows that post-translational phosphorylation plays a vital role in regulation of Sorangium cellulosum and the genus produced 50 percent of all known myxobacterial metabolites.
