Description: | Facultative aerobic Gram-negative bacterium. It uses oxygen as the
terminal electron acceptor during aerobic respiration; however during
anaerobic conditions, S.oneidensis undertakes respiration by reducing
alternative terminal electron acceptors such as oxidized metals,
fumarate, nitrate etc. Shewanella species can directly reduce both
uranium and chromium from the dissolved liquid state. Such abilities
could facilitate the removal of dilute metal pollutants in both
contained-storage and natural sites. Additionally S.oneidensis can
immobilize toxic metals through the formation of insoluble metal
sulfides. Finally it has been proposed for bioremediation of anoxic
polluted sites. S.oneidensis might prove useful for direct
bioremediation of both metal and organic pollutants under anaerobic
conditions.
