comamonas composti sp. nov., isolated from food waste compost.	a bacterial strain designated yy287(t), isolated from food waste compost, was investigated by polyphasic taxonomic approach. the cells were rod-shaped, gram-negative, non-pigmented, non-spore-forming and non-fermentative. phylogenetic analyses using the 16s rrna gene sequence showed that the strain formed a monophyletic branch towards the periphery of the evolutionary radiation occupied by the genus comamonas; its closest neighbours were the type strains comamonas testosteroni dsm 50244(t) (96.5 ...	2008	18175717
comamonas testosteroni infection in taiwan: reported two cases and literature review.	comamonas testosteroni is a widely distributed aerobic gram-negative bacillus. infection by c testosteroni is infrequent, and no such cases have been reported in taiwan. here, we would like to present a 54-year-old alcoholic patient from taiwan, and his left leg was injured during a fishing trip, resulting in left leg cellulitis and c testosteroni bacteremia. the patient's fever subsided after initial treatment with extended-spectrum cephalosporin, whereas his erythematous swelling did not resol ...	2011	21531356
identification of comamonas testosteroni as an androgen degrader in sewage.	numerous studies have reported the masculinization of freshwater wildlife exposed to androgens in polluted rivers. microbial degradation is a crucial mechanism for eliminating steroid hormones from contaminated ecosystems. the aerobic degradation of testosterone was observed in various bacterial isolates. however, the ecophysiological relevance of androgen-degrading microorganisms in the environment is unclear. here, we investigated the biochemical mechanisms and corresponding microorganisms of ...	2016	27734937
