Bacillus selenitireducens Blum et al., 1998

Bacillus selenitireducens is a bacterium first isolated from Mono Lake, California. It is notable for respiring oxyanions of selenium and arsenic. ^[1] It is spore-forming, rod-shaped and alkaliphile, its type strain being MLS10.

This species has been recently transferred into the genus Salisediminibacterium . ^[2] The correct nomenclature is Salisediminibacterium selenitireducens.
