Shewanella oneidensis
Shewanella oneidensis is a type of bacteria known for its remarkable ability to transfer electrons to external substances, including metals. This makes it important in natural processes like recycling minerals and has potential applications in clean energy, such as generating electricity from waste or helping to clean up contaminated environments. It can survive in diverse, often harsh, conditions by using nearby metals or minerals as part of its metabolic processes. Overall, Shewanella oneidensis is a versatile microorganism with both ecological significance and promising technological uses.
