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: Isolated from the Gotland Deep, an anoxic basin in the central Baltic Sea in 1986 from a depth of 120-130 m. Denitrifying marine bacterium. This genus includes species that inhabit a wide range of environments and are capable of utilizing a wide variety of electron acceptors during anaerobic respiration including some insoluble metal oxides while using very few carbon sources such as lactate or acetate. This group of organisms have been studied extensively for their electron transport systems. Shewanella denitrificans is a vigorous denitrifier, able to convert nitrite and nitrate to nitrogen. This organism has been isolated from seawater and may play a significant role in nitrogen cycling in marine environments.
