Reference strains, including two mis-named organisms, 'Chromobacterium chocolatum' and Flavobacterium marinotypicum, isolates from soil and clinical specimens, all previously recognized as Aureobacterium or Microbacterium, were characterized taxonomically. On the basis of morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, as well as DNA-DNA hybridization data, six new species and ...

Microbacterium sp. strain TNHR37B was isolated from a geothermal bore well sample (50°C) collected from a region of coal seam gas extraction activities. The 3.5-Mb genome with a G+C content of 69.9% contained unique genes, and a low similarity value for average nucleotide identity using BLAST was observed with the available 73 Microbacterium sp. genomes.

Strain DCY37(T) was isolated from a soil sample of a ginseng field in the Republic of Korea and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. Cells were Gram-staining-positive, heterotrophic, strictly aerobic, non-motile short rods. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY37(T) belongs to the genus Microbacterium. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, it is...

Microbacterium sp. SUBG005 is a Gram positive bacterium, isolated from infected leaf of Mangifera indica L. in Rajkot (22.30°N, 70.78°E), Gujarat, India. The genome sequencing of Microbacterium sp. SUBG005 is having type I secretion system genes of pathogenicity as well as heavy metal resistance unique genes. The genome size is 7.01 Mb with G + C content of 64.80% and contains rRNA sequences. G...

Microbacterium (formerly Corynebacterium) sp. No. 7 was isolated from activated sludge as a polypropylene glycol (PPG)-assimilating bacterial strain. Its oxidative PPG degradation has been proposed on the basis of PPG dehydrogenase activity and the metabolic products. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Microbacterium sp. No. 7. The genome of the strain No. 7 is composed of a 4,599,...

A taxonomic study of two crude-oil-degrading, Gram-positive bacterial strains, designated BAS69(T) and BNP48(T), revealed that they represent two novel Microbacterium species. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to their closest phylogenetic neighbours was 98.5 % for BAS69(T) (Microbacterium paraoxydans DSM 15019(T) and Microbacterium saperdae DSM 20169(T)) and 99 % for BNP48(T) (Microbacterium l...
