Query: NC_014100:172452 Caulobacter segnis ATCC 21756 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Caulobacter segnis; Caulobacter; Caulobacteraceae; Caulobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Isolation: Soil; Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Fresh water. Caulobacter segnis strain ATCC 21756 is a prostheca-less bacterium belonging to the genus Caulobacter; it was isolated from soil although its habitat is considered to be fresh-water. The absence of a stalk in this genus makes this an interesting bacterium to study.

General Information: This organism is able to reduce uranium and may be useful for in situ bioremediation of uranium. An iron(III)-reducing bacterium isolated from the uranium-contaminated subsurface of the U.S. Department of Energy NABIR Field Research Center (FRC), Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA. Several recent studies have verified using cultivation-independent methods that the Geobacteraceae are predominant in subsurface environments where dissimilatory metal reduction is important to the remediation of uranium and other contaminants.
