The species is a Gram-negative, motile, facultatively anaerobic, non spore-forming bacterium, which is of special interest because it is a chemoorganotroph and has a strictly respiratory metabolism with oxygen, nitrate, Fe(III)-oxyhydroxide, Fe(III)-citrate, MnO2, selenate, selenite and thiosul- fate as electron acceptors. This is the first completed genome sequence of a member of the genus Ferrimonas and also the first sequence from a member of the family Ferrimonadaceae. The 4,279,159 bp long genome with its 3,803 protein-coding and 144 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.

Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of F. balearica PATT relative to the type strains of the other species within the family Ferrimonadaceae and to the type of the neighboring family Psychro- monadaceae. The trees were inferred from 1,449 aligned characters [10,11] of the 16S rRNA gene se- quence under the maximum likelihood criterion [12] and rooted with the type strain of the order Alte- romonadaceae. The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Num- bers above branches are support values from 650 bootstrap replicates [13] if larger than 60%.

Strain PATT is a Gram-negative, nonspore-forming, TSI based media this strain grows better on Ma- facultatively anaerobic bacterium [1]. The cells are rine Broth.
