Deinococcus ficus strain:2009 Genome sequencing and assembly
Based on the ability of Deinococcus bacteria to reduce a variety of metals including U(VI), Cr(VI), Hg(II), Tc(VII), Fe(III) and Mn(III,IV), this group of extremely radiation resistant bacteria  have been viewed as prospective candidates for bioremediation of radioactive waste sites maintained by DOE.
