Shewanella oneindensis
S. oneidensis is the abbreviated name
of the bacterium Shewanella oneidensis, which according to
the definitive text, which categorizes bacteria
Bergey's Manual, belongs to the gram negative gamma
subgroup (as
E.
coli and
H.
influenzae) Alteromonadales, genus XII Shewanella.
 The
name oneidensis comes from the name of Lake Oneida where
from our friend & collaborator K. Nealson first isolated and
characterized S. oneidensis fifteen years ago. S.
oneidensis is at the very top of the priority list of the
US Department of Energy, because of its unique ability to
reduce heavy metals like uranium, degrade organic wastes and
sequester a range of toxic metals. Environments in places like
Hanford or Chernobyl can be significantly improved if we would
understand S. oneidensis
better.
We are still not there...
