A Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive rod, designated CCNWSP60(T), was isolated from the nodule surface of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] cultivar Zhonghuang 13. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis clearly showed that the isolate belonged to the genus Microbacterium . On the basis of pairwise comparisons of 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain CCNWSP60(T) was most closely...

Microbial populations responsible for the oxidation and reduction of As were examined in unsaturated (aerobic) soil columns treated with 75 microM arsenite [As(III)] or 250 microM arsenate [As(V)]. Arsenite [As(III)] was rapidly oxidized to As(V) via microbial activity, whereas no apparent reduction of As(V) was observed in the column experiments. Eight aerobic heterotrophic bacteria with varyi...

In the course of a study of the microbial flora of fresh pork sausage (Sulzbacher and McLean, 1951) a gram positive rod associated with sausage flavor deterioration was isolated repeatedly. Although this organism tentatively was identified as belonging to the genus Microbacterium, it differs sufficiently from the described species of that genus to justify the publication of a complete descripti...

We analyze the energy distribution of the leptons coming from the top decay t t bH +, bW+ + bl+u. The correlation between the lepton energy distribution and the top spin may be useful for distinguishing the H+ signature from the W background. Such a correlation can also be useful for disentangling the two different H+Eb couplings and determining the experimental value of tan p. To appear in the...
