ABSTRACT-Members of the genus Shewanella are widespread in aquatic and sedimentary environments and are, in general, noted both for their respiratory versatility and for their limited repertoire of substrates that they can utilize as electron donors...This study expands the range of carbon substrates utilized by Shewanella spp., unambiguously identifies several genes involved in chitin metabolism, and describes a novel variant of the classical three-step biochemical conversion of GlcNAc to fructose-6-phosphate first described in Escherichia coli.
