It is a very common misconception to think that MR-1 refers to \"metal-reducing\" instead of the original intended \"manganese-reducing\" named by Professor Kenneth H. Nealson, who first isolated Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Shewanella oneidensis is a facultative bacterium, capable of surviving and proliferating in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The special interest in S. oneidensis MR-1 revolves around its behavior in an anaerobic environment contaminated by heavy metals such as iron, lead; perhaps even uranium. Some experiments suggest it may reduce ionic mercury to elemental mercury. Cellular respiration for these bacteria is not restricted to heavy metals though; the bacteria can also target sulfates, nitrates and chromates when grown anaerobically."@en }
