Project name: Micrococcus luteus NCTC 2665
Description: Micrococcus luteus NCTC 2665. This strain (ATCC 15307; DSM 20030; CN 3475) is the type strain for this species. Micrococcus luteus 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.
