Isolation and characterization of Flavobacterium strains that degrade pentachlorophenol.
Bacteria able to mineralize 100 to 200 ppm of pentachlorophenol (PCP) were isolated by selective enrichment from PCP-contaminated soils from three geographic areas of Minnesota. Although differing somewhat in their responses to various biochemical and biophysical tests, all strains were assigned to the genus Flavobacterium. Five representative strains were examined in detail. All strains metabo...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of strains of Flavobacterium columnare from Brazil.
Flavobacterium columnare is an important pathogen of freshwater fish, implicated in skin and gill disease, often causing high mortality. An outbreak of skin disease in fingerling and adult Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.), cultivated in a recirculation system, was investigated. Four strains were isolated and characterized by biochemical reactions, enzyme production, fatty acid profile a...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of Rhodococcus sp. strains TMP2 and T12 that degrade 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (pristane) at moderately low temperatures.
Branched alkanes including 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (pristane) are more resistant to biological degradation than straight-chain alkanes especially under low-temperature conditions, such as 10 degrees C. Two bacterial strains, TMP2 and T12, that are capable of degrading pristane at 10 degrees C were isolated and characterized. Both strains grew optimally at 30 degrees C and were identifi...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Bacteria That Degrade Phosphonates in Marine Dissolved Organic Matter
Semi-labile dissolved organic matter (DOM) accumulates in surface waters of the oligotrophic ocean gyres and turns over on seasonal to annual timescales. This reservoir of DOM represents an important source of carbon, energy, and nutrients to marine microbial communities but the identity of the microorganisms and the biochemical pathways underlying the cycling of DOM remain largely uncharacteri...
متن کاملComparative analysis of different Pseudomonas strains that degrade cinnamic acid.
Strains of Pseudomonas stutzeri (CINNS) and Pseudomonas putida (CINNP and CINNW) isolated from soil with cinnamic acid as the sole carbon source were found to be simultaneously adapted to grow on phenylpropionic and p-hydroxybenzoic acids. In cinnamic acid-grown cultures, phenylpropionic acid was isolated. A catabolic plasmid of approximately equal to 75 kilobase pairs encoding the metabolism o...
