| effect of 2,4-dinitrotoluene on the anaerobic bacterial community in marine sediment. | to study the impact of added 2,4-dinitrotoluene (dnt) on the anaerobic bacterial community in marine sediment collected from an unexploded ordnance dumping site in halifax harbour. | 2009 | 19486208 |
| shewanella canadensis sp. nov. and shewanella atlantica sp. nov., manganese dioxide- and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine-reducing, psychrophilic marine bacteria. | two strains belonging to the genus shewanella, haw-eb2(t) and haw-eb5(t), were isolated previously from marine sediment sampled from the atlantic ocean, near halifax harbour in canada, for their potential to degrade explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (rdx). in the present study, strains haw-eb2(t) and haw-eb5(t) were found to display high 16s rrna gene sequence similarity (90-99.5 %) to species of shewanella, but their gyrb sequences were significantly different from each other an ... | 2007 | 17766891 |
| shewanella halifaxensis sp. nov., a novel obligately respiratory and denitrifying psychrophile. | indigenous bacteria found in the sediment of the emerald basin (depth of 215 m, atlantic ocean) located offshore of halifax harbour (nova scotia, canada) were previously found to be able to degrade the explosive compound hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (rdx). in the present study, a novel obligately respiratory, denitrifying and rdx-mineralizing bacterium, designated strain haw-eb4(t), was isolated from the marine sediment. this bacterium utilized peptone, yeast extract, casamino acids, ... | 2006 | 16403888 |
