| achromobacter xylosoxidans isolates in hawaii. | clinical and bacteriological features of nine cases in which achromobacter xylosoxidans were isolated in hawaii are described. five cases were ear infections mixed with other gram-negative bacteria. colonial morphology, xylose oxidation, peritrichous flagella staining, and antibiotic susceptibility pattern assisted in separating this bacterium from other nonfermentative, oxidase-positive, gram-negative rods. | 1978 | 632351 |
| why two are not enough: degradation of p-toluenesulfonate by a bacterial community from a pristine site in moorea, french polynesia. | in previous work, only one culture (strain ta12) from a pristine site was reported to utilize the xenobiotic compound p-toluenesulfonate (tsa) as a sole source of carbon and energy for aerobic growth. 'strain ta12' has now been recognized as a community of three bacteria: achromobacter xylosoxidans ta12-a, ensifer adhaerens ta12-b and pseudomonas nitroreducens ta12-c. achromobacter xylosoxidans ta12-a and e. adhaerens ta12-b were identified as the tsa degraders. these two organisms contain sever ... | 2011 | 21204940 |
