Alteromonas macleodii is a species of widespread marine bacterium found in surface waters across temperate and tropical regions.[1] First discovered in a survey of aerobic bacteria in 1972, A. macleodii has since been placed within the phylum Pseudomonadota and is recognised as a prominent component of surface waters between 0 and 50 metres.[2][3][4] Alteromonas macleodii has a single circular DNA chromosome of 4.6 million base pairs.[5] Variable regions in the genome of A. macleodii confer functional diversity to closely related strains and facilitate different lifestyles and strategies.[1][6] Certain A. macleodii strains are currently being explored for their industrial uses, including in cosmetics,[7] bioethanol production[8] and rare earth mining.[9]
