Human soft tissue infection by the emerging pathogen Shewanella algae

The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2011
Shewanella soft tissue infections usually occur in immunocompromised patients with a preexisting cutaneous ulcer, mostly after exposure to a marine environment or contaminated water. A 35-year-old male presented with a non-healing ulcer over the distal end of his right leg but had no predisposing factors.

Metabolic Processes Preserved as Biosignatures in Iron-Oxidizing Microorganisms: Implications for Biosignature Detection on Mars [PDF]

Iron-oxidizing bacteria occupy a distinct environmental niche. These chemolithoautotrophic organisms require very little oxygen (when neutrophilic) or outcompete oxygen for access to Fe(II) (when acidophilic).

Chlorate reduction in Shewanella algae ACDC

, 2014
Previous work on respiratory chlorate reduction has biochemically identified the terminal reductase ClrABC and the chlorite detoxifying enzyme Cld. In Shewanella algae ACDC, genes encoding these enzymes reside on composite transposons whose core we refer to as the chlorate reduction composite transposon interior (CRI).

Influence of Shewanella algae and calcium-magnesium deposit layer on the corrosion mechanism of X80 carbon steel in marine environment

Materials & Design
In the marine environment, the surface of X80 steel under cathodic protection is highly prone to forming a dense calcium-magnesium deposit layer and adsorbing a large amount of Shewanella algae (S.
