RHODANOBACTER DENITRIFICANS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Rhodanobacter |
| Species: | Rhodanobacter denitrificans |
| Description: | Facultatively anaerobic, and capable of complete denitrification; grows anoxically by using nitrate (NO3¯), nitrite(NO2¯) and nitrous oxide (N2O) as sole electron acceptors.Slow-growing, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, motile,rod-shaped bacterium that forms yellow, smooth colonies (1.5–2.0 mm) on R2A agar after 7 days of incubation at 30°C. |
| Synonyms: | |
| Source: | The type strain, 2APBS1T(5DSM 23569T5JCM 17641T),was isolated from nitrate- and uranium-contaminated subsurface sediment of Area 2 of the OR-IFRC site, Oak Ridge, TN, USA. Strain 116-2 (5DSM 246785JCM17642), isolated from Area 3 of the OR-IFRC site, is a second strain of the species. |
