Acidovorax ebreus TPSY

Acidovorax_ebreus
Names Acidovorax ebreus TPSY
Accession numbers NC_011992
Background Acidovorax ebreus (strain TPSY) is able to anaerobically oxidize iron and uranium when coupled with the reduction of nitrate. This organism may be important for the remediation of uranium in contaminated environments. (adapted from http://genome.jgi-psf.org/finished_microbes/desd2/desd2.home.html). (EBI Integr8)
