Shewanella gelidimarina explained

Shewanella gelidimarina 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] [2]} Its cells are motile and rod shaped. ACAM 456 is its type strain.
