Shewanella frigidimarina explained

Shewanella frigidimarina is a species of bacteria, notable for being an Antarctic species with the ability to produce eicosapentaenoic acid. It grows anaerobically by dissimilatory Fe (III) reduction.^[1] Its cells are motile and rod shaped. ACAM 591 is its type strain.
