Species code:	SHESW
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Alteromonadales; Shewanellaceae; Shewanella (TaxID: 351745) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Shewanella are facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, motile by polar flagella, rod-like, and generally associated with aquatic or marine environments. . They are capable of using a variety of compounds as electron acceptors, including oxygen, iron, manganese, uranium, nitrate, nitrite, fumarate, to name but a few. This ability makes Shewanella important for bioremediation of contaminated metals and radioactive wastes. The genus Shewanella comprises 36 recognized and hundreds of uncharacterized cultivable species. Originally described as Shewanella putrefaciens, this strain was isolated from Pacific Ocean marine sediments at 630 m depth. It has a novel integrating conjugative element of approximately 110 kb inserted into the prfC gene. This element encodes a variety of efflux pumps which confer resistance to heavy metals and possibly also to antibiotics.
