Shewanella gelidimarina

Shewanella gelidimarina is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Shewanella gelidimarina rather than just read about it. In short: Shewanella gelidimarina is a species of bacteria, notable for being an Antarctic species with the ability to produce eicosapentaenoic acid. It grows anaerobically by dissimilatory Fe (III) reduction.

Key takeaways

Shewanella gelidimarina belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Shewanella gelidimarina to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Shewanella gelidimarina from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Shewanella gelidimarina is a species of bacteria, notable for being an Antarctic species with the ability to produce eicosapentaenoic acid. It grows anaerobically by dissimilatory Fe (III) reduction. Its cells are motile and rod shaped. ACAM 456 is its type strain.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Shewanella gelidimarina

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Shewanella gelidimarina claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Shewanella gelidimarina before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Shewanella gelidimarina ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Shewanella gelidimarina

In research: Shewanella gelidimarina appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Shewanella gelidimarina in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Shewanella gelidimarina is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Alteromonadales, Alteromonadales stubs, Bacteria described in 1997, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Shewanella gelidimarina outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
