Abstract:Three novel strains in the genus
Shewanella
, designated A3AT, C31T and C32, were isolated from mangrove sediment samples. They were facultative anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, flagellum-harbouring, oxidase- and catalase-positive, electrogenic and capable of using Fe(III) as an electron acceptor during anaerobic growth. Results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene and genomic sequences revealed that th… Show more
