Enzyme characterization and biological activities of a resuscitation promoting factor from an oil degrading bacterium Rhodococcus erythropolis KB1

Bioremediation potential of a phenol degrading bacterium, Rhodococcus erythropolis SKO-1

Biodegradation of phenol is a major focus of toxic organic compound degradation by microorganisms isolated from polluted areas. An increasing number of bacteria and fungi possessing unique biodegradation capabilities have been isolated in recent years. In this study a new isolate, Rhodococcus erythropolis SKO-1, from polluted soils in the Tehran oil refinery region, is reported. Identificati...

Isolation and Characterization of Carbendazim-degrading Rhodococcus erythropolis djl-11

Carbendazim (methyl 1H-benzimidazol-2-yl carbamate) is one of the most widely used fungicides in agriculture worldwide, but has been reported to have adverse effects on animal health and ecosystem function. A highly efficient carbendazim-degrading bacterium (strain dj1-11) was isolated from carbendazim-contaminated soil samples via enrichment culture. Strain dj1-11 was identified as Rhodococcus...

An extremely oligotrophic bacterium, Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4, isolated from crude oil.

Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4, which was isolated from crude oil, showed extremely oligotrophic growth and formed its colonies on a minimal salt medium solidified using agar or silica gel without any additional carbon source. N9T-4 did not grow under CO(2)-limiting conditions but could grow on a medium containing NaHCO(3) under the same conditions, suggesting that the oligotrophic growth of N9...
