Nocardioides pacificus is a Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Nocardioides which has been isolated from deep sub-seafloor sediments from the South Pacific Gyre. [1] [3] [4] [5]
The seabed is the bottom of the ocean, no matter how deep. All floors of the ocean are known as 'seabeds'.
Alcanivorax pacificus is a pyrene-degrading marine gammaprotobacterium. It is of the genus Alcanivorax, a group of marine bacteria known for degrading hydrocarbons. When originally proposed, the genus Alcanivorax comprised six distinguishable species. However, A. pacificus, a seventh strain, was isolated from deep sea sediments in the West Pacific Ocean by Shanghai Majorbio Bio-pharm Technology Co., Ltd. in 2011. A. pacificus’s ability to degrade hydrocarbons can be employed for cleaning up oil-contaminated oceans through bioremediation. The genomic differences present in this strain of Alcanivorax that distinguish it from the original consortium are important to understand to better utilize this bacteria for bioremediation.
