| sphingobium amiense sp. nov., a novel nonylphenol-degrading bacterium isolated from a river sediment. | a nonylphenol-degrading bacterial strain (yt(t)) was isolated previously from a river sediment sample obtained in ami-machi, ibaraki, japan, and identified as a sphingomonas species. in this study, the taxonomic relationship between strain yt(t), a recently described nonylphenol-degrading strain, sphingomonas cloacae, and sphingobium yanoikuyae, which is phylogenetically related, was examined. their phenotypic characteristics were compared and levels of dna-dna relatedness between these strains ... | 2003 | 14657143 |
