The bacterial strain Rhodococcus butanica (ATCC 21197), which exhibits nitrilase and nitrile hydratase/amidase activities, catalyses the enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic naproxen nitrile (R/S)-1 to furnish a moderate enantiomeric excess of (S)-naproxen (S)-3. Racemic naproxen amide (R/S)-2 is not a good substrate for this strain. Resting cells of the newly selected bacterial strain Rhodoc...

13C/(12)C and D/H stable isotope fractionation during aerobic degradation was determined for Pseudomonas putida strain mt-2, Pseudomonas putida strain F1, Ralstonia pickettii strain PKO1, and Pseudomonas putida strain NCIB 9816 grown with toluene, xylenes, and naphthalene. Different types of initial reactions used by the respective bacterial strains could be linked with certain extents of stabl...

Ralstonia sp. strain GA3-3 is a hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-degrading bacterial strain isolated from suburban soil in Canberra, Australia. The genome of strain GA3-3 was sequenced to investigate its ability to degrade α-HCH. Here, we report the annotated genome sequence of this strain.

We report here a tumor-targeting strategy for pancreatic cancer using a modified auxotrophic strain of Salmonella typhimurium. The genetically-modified strain of S. typhimurium requires the amino acids arginine and leucine. These mutations preclude growth in normal tissue but do not reduce bacterial virulence in tumor cells. The tumor-targeting strain of S. typhimurium, termed A1-R and expressi...

AZD5206 is a novel antimicrobial agent with potent in vitro activity against Staphylococcus aureus. We evaluated the in vitro pharmacodynamics of AZD5206 against a standard wild-type methicillin-susceptible strain (ATCC 29213) and a clinical strain of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (SA62). Overall, bacterial killing against a low baseline inoculum was more remarkable. Low dosing exposures and/...

Bacterial strain 16-12 was isolated from the root nodules of lupines and was found to be mitomycin C-inducible for the production of a bacteriophage ("16-12-1") with a long noncontractile tail. The phage was found to attach with a fork-like terminal tail structure to the pili of strain 16-12. In addition, it was also found adsorbed to the bacterial cell poles. It is suggested that phage 16-12-1...

glycerol is a promising feedstock for microbial cultivation and production of 1,3 propanediol (1,3 pdo). here we report a newly isolated bacterial strain ba11 from soil, capable of fermenting glycerol to 1,3 pdo, and has been identified to be a strain of klebsiella pneumoniae. strain ba11 was fast growing showing peak 1,3 pdo production in 6 h of cultivation with productivity of 1.2 g/l-h witho...
