Query: NC_014012:3812754 Shewanella violacea DSS12, complete genome
Lineage: Shewanella violacea; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Shewanella violacea DSS12 was isolated from mud, taken at a depth of 5110 m, from the Ryukyu Trench in the Philippine Sea. Shewanella violacea is psychrophilic and barophilic, with an optimum growth temperature and pressure of 8 degrees C and 30 MPa, respectively. This organism is able to grow at pressures from 0.1 MPa to 70Mpa, however, no growth occurs a temperatures above 20 degrees C.
Subject: NC_009901:4028175 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.
