Query: NC_016745:1892500 Oceanimonas sp. GK1 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Oceanimonas; Oceanimonas; Aeromonadaceae; Aeromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Oceanimonas sp. (strain GK1) is an aerobic, marine halotolerant, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from Gavkhouni Wetland in Iran. It is a motile bacterium which can tolerate up to 12% NaCl. It grows at tempatures between 10 to 45 degrees C with an optimum at 35 degrees C and at pH between 6 to 10 with an optimum at 8. Oceanimonas sp. produces large amounts of poly-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as a carbon and energy reservoir under unbalanced growth conditions. PHB is a biodegradable and renewable biosynthetic polymer which can be used in medicine, tissue engineering, and packaging materials.

Subject: NC_010334:1561691 Shewanella halifaxensis HAW-EB4, complete genome

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

General Information: This strain was isolated from sediment in a munitions-dumping area of the Emerald Basin (depth of 215 m, Atlantic Ocean), offshore of Halifax Harbour (Nova Scotia, Canada). It is capable of efficiently degrading RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine), an explosive compound that contaminates the environment. This bacterium is an obligate respiratory organism.
