| sphingomonas yantingensis sp. nov., a mineral-weathering bacterium isolated from purplish paddy soil. | a novel type of mineral-weathering bacterium was isolated from purplish soils collected from yanting (sichuan, south-western china). cells of strain 1007(t) were gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped, motile and yellow-pigmented. the isolate was strictly aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, and grew optimally at 28-30 °c and ph 6.0-7.0. the genomic dna g+c content of strain 1007(t) was 67±0.7 mol%. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences indicated that strain 1007(t) belonged to ... | 2014 | 24363294 |
