Query: NC_014012:1676983 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.

General Information: This strain (serovar O1) is an avian pathogenic strain and causes respiratory, blood, and enteric infections primarily in poultry. This organism was named for its discoverer, Theodore Escherich, and is one of the premier model organisms used in the study of bacterial genetics, physiology, and biochemistry. This enteric organism is typically present in the lower intestine of humans, where it is the dominant facultative anaerobe present, but it is only one minor constituent of the complete intestinal microflora. E. coli, is capable of causing various diseases in its host, especially when they acquire virulence traits. E. coli can cause urinary tract infections, neonatal meningitis, and many different intestinal diseases, usually by attaching to the host cell and introducing toxins that disrupt normal cellular processes.
