Query: NC_009831:3612206 Shewanella sediminis HAW-EB3, complete genome Lineage: Shewanella sediminis; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Shewanella sediminis was isolated from sediment taken at a depth of 215 meters from an unexploded-ordinance-dumping site 50 nautical miles from Halifax Harbor, Canada in the Atlantic Ocean. This organism is able to degrade hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) anaerobically at 10 degrees C. RDX is a member of a family of nitramine compounds which are used in the production of explosives. Shewanella are facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, motile by polar flagella, rod-like, and generally associated with aquatic or marine environments.

General Information: This organism was isolated from saline liquid (12-14%) found 11-24 m below the surface within a forty thousand-year-old Siberian permafrost at the Kolyma-Indigirka lowland in Siberia. Psychrotolerant organism. These bacteria are commonly isolated from low temperature environments, Psychrobacter spp. are cold-adapted organisms that are often isolated from extreme environments such as permafrost or the Antarctic ice. Psychrobacter cryohalolentis, formerly Psychrobacter cryopegella is an psychrotolerant bacterium. This organism can grow at -10 degrees C with rapid growth at these temperatures.
