Shewanella canadensis sp. nov. and Shewanella atlantica sp. nov., two novel MnO2 and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine-reducing psychrophilic marine bacteria
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two strains belonging to the genus Shewanella, HAW-EB2T and HAW-EB5T, were isolated previously from marine sediment sampled from the Atlantic Ocean, near Halifax harbour in Canada, for their potential to degrade explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). In the present study, strains HAW-EB2T and HAW-EB5T were found to display high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (90-99.5 %) to species of Shewanella, but their gyrB sequences were significantly different from each other and from species of Shewanella (79-87.6 %). Furthermore, DNA-DNA hybridization showed that the genomic DNA of the two strains was only 22 % related and showed less than 41 % relatedness to closely related species of Shewanella. In comparison to other species of Shewanella, strains HAW-EB2T and HAW-EB5T were also unique in some phenotypic properties such as activities of beta-galactosidase and tyrosine arylamidase and the ability to metabolize certain organic acids and sugars. Both strains HAW-EB2T and HAW-EB5T utilize malate, valerate, peptone and yeast extract as sole carbon and energy sources. The major membrane fatty acids of the two strains were C14 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, C16 : 1{omega}7, C18 : 1{omega}7 and C20 : 5{omega}3 and their major quinones were Q-7, Q-8 and MK-7. On the basis of these results, strain HAW-EB2T (=NCIMB 14238T =CCUG 54553T) is proposed as the type strain of Shewanella canadensis sp. nov. and strain HAW-EB5T (=NCIMB 14239T =CCUG 54554T) is proposed as the type strain of Shewanella atlantica sp. nov.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
