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.
