| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
