Bioremediation strain capable of sequestering metals.
<b><i>Micrococcus luteus</i> NCTC 2665.</b> This strain (ATCC 15307; DSM 20030; CN 3475) is the type strain for this species. <i>Micrococcus luteus</i> NCTC 2665 has potential in bioremediation due to its ability to sequester metals (i.e. gold and strontium), and it is being used for gold concentration from low-abundance ores.
