Isolation of Asticcacaulis sp. SA7, a novel agar-degrading alphaproteobacterium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An agar-degrading bacterium, strain SA7, was isolated from plant roots cultivated in soil. Analysis of the 16S rDNA sequence showed that strain SA7 is affiliated with the genus Asticcacaulis. Strain SA7 produced extracellular agarase, and grew utilizing agar in the culture medium as sole carbon source. Zymogram analysis showed that strain SA7 extracellularly secreted single agarase protein (about 70 kDa).

Background and Objective: PAHs are non-polar organic compounds consisting of two or more fused benzene multi-rings. Among these compounds, acenaphthene is a multi-ring hydrocarbon that occurs abundantly in nature. Use of microorganisms to clean the contaminations of soil can be cheap and effective. The most important acenaphthene-degrading bacteria are pseudomonas, micrococcus, and Bacillus. Th...

متن کاملGenome Sequence of the Bile Salt-Degrading Bacterium Novosphingobium sp. Strain Chol11, a Model Organism for Bacterial Steroid Catabolism
Many bacteria from different phylogenetic groups are able to degrade eukaryotic steroid compounds, but the underlying metabolic pathways are still not well understood. Novosphingobium sp. strain Chol11 is a steroid-degrading alphaproteobacterium. Its genome sequence reveals that it lacks several genes for steroid degradation known to exist in other model organisms.
متن کاملAsticcacaulis benevestitus sp. nov., a psychrotolerant, dimorphic, prosthecate bacterium from tundra wetland soil.
A Gram-negative, aerobic, heterotrophic, non-pigmented, dimorphic prosthecate bacterium was isolated from tundra wetland soil and designated strain Z-0023(T). Cells of this strain had a dimorphic life cycle and developed a non-adhesive stalk at a site not coincident with the centre of the cell pole, a characteristic typical of representatives of the genus Asticcacaulis. A highly distinctive fea...
