Shewanella decolorationis explained

Shewanella decolorationis is a gram-negative, dye-decolorizing bacterium first isolated from activated sludge of a waste-water treatment plant. It is motile by means of a single polar flagellum. The type strain is S12^T (=CCTCC M 203093^T =IAM 15094^T).^[1] Its genome has been sequenced.^[2]
