Janibacter brevis sp. nov., a new trichloroethylene-degrading bacterium isolated from polluted environments.

چکیده
Two strains that were strongly able to degrade trichloroethylene were isolated from contaminated environmental samples. The isolates are non-motile, aerobic, non-spore-forming, gram-positive coccoid to short rods with cell-wall peptidoglycan containing meso-diaminopimelic acid. The major type of menaquinone is MK-8(H4). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. Mycolic acids were absent. The G+C content of the DNA was 72 mol%. Furthermore, comparison of 16S rDNA sequences shows that the isolates clearly belong to the genus Janibacter. The isolates differ from Janibacter limosus at the species level, as shown by the value for DNA-DNA hybridization. It is therefore proposed that the strains be assigned to the genus Janibacter as Janibacter brevis sp. nov.

Pentachlorophenol Degradation by Janibacter sp., a New Actinobacterium Isolated from Saline Sediment of Arid Land
Many pentachlorophenol- (PCP-) contaminated environments are characterized by low or elevated temperatures, acidic or alkaline pH, and high salt concentrations. PCP-degrading microorganisms, adapted to grow and prosper in these environments, play an important role in the biological treatment of polluted extreme habitats. A PCP-degrading bacterium was isolated and characterized from arid and sal...
متن کاملAnthracene degradation by an oligotrophic bacterium isolated from refinery soil
Anthracene is a widespread environmental pollutant with carcinogenic and genotoxic properties. Biodegradation is a simple, cost-effective and safe technique to clean-up contaminated environments. The aims of this study are isolation and characterization of an oligotrophic bacterium with the ability to degrade anthracene and the assessment of in vitro biodegradation process. For this purpose pet...

Degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including polychlorinated dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs), by microorganisms has received much attention in connection with natural attenuation and bioremediation of xenobiotic pollution (Hiraishi, 2003; Wittich, 1998). Large numbers of aromaticand PAHdegrading bacteria from polluted environments have been isolated and characterized. The so-calle...

The genus Janibacter was proposed by Martin et al. (1997) with the type species Janibacter limosus. The genus Janibacter belongs to the family Intrasporangiaceae in the order Actinomycetales. There are currently four species in the genus Janibacter : Janibacter limosus (Martin et al., 1997), Janibacter terrae (Yoon et al., 2000), Janibacter melonis (Yoon et al., 2004) and Janibacter anophelis (...

Ochrobactrum sp. T was previously isolated from a sludge sample collected from an electronic waste recycling site and characterized as a unique tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA)-degrading bacterium. Here, the draft genome sequence (3.9 Mb) of Ochrobactrum sp. T is reported to provide insights into its diversity and its TBBPA biodegradation mechanism in polluted environments.
