Lineage: Shewanella woodyi; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This luminous species was isolated from squid ink and seawater from depths of 200 to 300 m in the Alboran Sea. This respiratory (nonfermentive) organism is able to use nitrate or nitrite as a terminal electron acceptor. This organism is motile via a single polar flagellum.
Subject: NC_006138:799174 Desulfotalea psychrophila LSv54, complete genome
Lineage: Desulfotalea psychrophila; Desulfotalea; Desulfobulbaceae; Desulfobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from marine sediments off of the coast of Svalbard, and can grow at temperatures as low as -1.7 degrees C. Sulfate-reducing bacterium. This organism grows on more complex organic compounds such as acetate, propionate, butyrate, lactate as well as by using simpler compounds such as hydrogen. This organism is an important part of global biogeochemical cycling of carbon and other nutrients.
