Query: NC_009901:2427291 Shewanella pealeana ATCC 700345, complete genome

Lineage: Shewanella pealeana; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This species was isolated from a microbial community colonizing the accessory nidamental gland of the squid Loligo peali (Atlantic squid) for their capacity to respire on sulfur. It was placed in the Shewanella genus based on physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Shewanella are ubiquitous in marine environment and play very important role in global carbon and nitrogen cycle. The present strain is moderately halophilic, requiring sodium ions for growth. Shewanella are facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, motile by polar flagella, rod-like, and generally associated with aquatic or marine environments.

Subject: NC_007575:1484305 Sulfurimonas denitrificans DSM 1251, complete genome

Lineage: Sulfurimonas denitrificans; Sulfurimonas; Helicobacteraceae; Campylobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This organsim is a sulfur-oxidizing bacterium isolated isolated from estuarine mud in the Netherlands. Sulfur-oxidizing bacterium. Sulfurimonas denitrificans, formerly Thiomicrospira denitrificans, is a denitrifying chemolithoautotroph that uses sulfide or thiosulfate and nitrate or nitrite as the electron donor and acceptor. This organism has been identified in hydrothermal vent areas and from oilfields and may play a role in the cycling of sulfur in these environments.
