Abstract
Bacillus selenitireducens is a bacterium first isolated from Mono Lake, California. It is notable for respiring oxyanions of selenium and arsenic. It is spore-forming, rod-shaped and alkaliphile, its type strain being MLS10. This species has been recently transferred into the genus Salisediminibacterium. The correct nomenclature is Salisediminibacterium selenitireducens.
