Query: NC_014800:329861 Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913 chromosome chromosome II, complete Lineage: Pseudoalteromonas; Pseudoalteromonas; Pseudoalteromonadaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Pseudoalteromonas is a genus of gamma-proteobacteria that is widespread in the world's oceans, from surface water to deep-sea sediments. Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913, isolated from deep-sea sediment at a water depth of 1855 meters near the Okinawa Trough, is a psychrophilic strain that produces a large quantity of proteases and exopolysaccharides (EPSs), indicating its function in the degradation of sedimentary particulate organic nitrogen and its potential uses in biotechnology applications.

General Information: Pathogen in immunocompromised patients. This genus is abundant in marine or freshwater environments such as estuaries, brackish ponds, or coastal areas; regions that provide an important reservoir for the organism in between outbreaks of the disease. Vibrio can affect shellfish, finfish, and other marine animals and a number of species are pathogenic for humans. Organisms of this species are opportunistic pathogens that can attack immunocompromised patients and causes gastroenteritis (inflammation of mucous membranes of stomach and intestine), wound infections, and primary septicemia (spread of the organism through the blood). This organism is the major cause of death from eating raw oysters, especially in people with liver damage. It only affects humans and other primates.
