Rhizobium selenireducens sp. nov.: A Selenite-Reducing α-Proteobacteria Isolated From a Bioreactor (2007, methodology): “Generally, bacteria in the same genus will have G+C mol% that are within 10% of each other, whereas bacteria in the same species will have G+C mol% values that are within 3% to 5% of each other [5, 6].”
Characterization of Neutrophilic Fe(II)-Oxidizing Bacteria Isolated from the Rhizosphere of Wetland Plants and Description of Ferritrophicum radicicola gen. nov. sp. nov., and Sideroxydans paludicola sp. nov. (2007, background): “Because of the potential abundance of Fe plaque associated with the rhizosphere in a variety of wetlands (Chen et al. 1980; Gonzalez and Saiz-Jimenez 2002; Weiss et al. 2003), rhizosphere Fe(III) deposition could have important links with the wetland biogeochemical cycles of carbon, phosphorus, sulf”
