thioclava pacifica gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel facultatively autotrophic, marine, sulfur-oxidizing bacterium from a near-shore sulfidic hydrothermal area.	strain tl 2(t) was isolated on mineral medium with thiosulfate from a near-shore sulfidic hydrothermal area in matupi harbour on the island of new britain, papua new guinea. the cells varied from long filaments with swollen ends, often aggregated, to short rods, depending on the growth conditions. the bacterium was obligately aerobic and grew autotrophically with thiosulfate as energy source or heterotrophically with organic acids and sugars. in thiosulfate-limited continuous culture, mu(max) an ...	2005	15879235
tropicimonas isoalkanivorans gen. nov., sp. nov., a branched-alkane-degrading bacterium isolated from semarang port in indonesia.	an aerobic, gram-negative, motile bacterium, strain b51(t), was isolated from seawater obtained from semarang port in indonesia. cells of strain b51(t) were peritrichously flagellated and rod-shaped. strain b51(t) was able to degrade alkanes, branched alkanes and alkylnaphthalenes. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis revealed that strain b51(t) was affiliated with the family rhodobacteraceae, and was related most closely to thioclava pacifica tl 2(t) (94.6 % similarity). the dna g+c content of strai ...	2009	19196783
