Anaeromyxobacter_sp.
Names Anaeromyxobacter sp. K
Accession numbers NC_011145
Background As its name suggests this bacteria is capable of anaerobic growth. They are slender Gram-negative rods that exhibit gliding motility and form spore-like structures. They may be useful in bioremediation of contaminated sites. (EBI Integr8)
