Shewanella spp. genomic evolution for a cold marine lifestyle and in-situ explosive biodegradation.

Shewanella halifaxensis and Shewanella sediminis were among a few aquatic gamma-proteobacteria that were psychrophiles and the first anaerobic bacteria that degraded hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). Although many mesophilic or psychrophilic strains of Shewanella and gamma-proteobacteri...

Shewanella spp. genomic evolution for a cold marine lifestyle and in-situ explosive biodegradation.
