Slackia heliotrinireducens DSM 20476

Taxonomy
Names	Slackia heliotrinireducens DSM 20476
Accession numbers	NC_013165
Background	Slackia heliotrinireducens (strain ATCC 29202 / DSM 20476 / NCTC 11029 / RHS 1) is a nonmotile, obligate anaerobe, pyrrolizidine alkaloids metabolizer Gram-positive bacterium, originally isolated from the rumen of a sheep, Australia. This organism can degrade by oxidative cleavage the toxic alkaloid heliotrine (a pyrrolizidine alkaloid) which is produced by the plant Heliotropium europaeum. (Adaptated from PMID: 12488016).
