| tributyltin chloride (tbtcl)-enhanced exopolysaccharide and siderophore production in an estuarine alcaligenes faecalis strain. | tributyltin chloride (tbtcl) has been used extensively as an antifouling agent in ship paints, which results in the contamination of aquatic sites. these contaminated sites serve as enrichment areas for tbtcl-resistant bacterial strains. one tbtcl-resistant bacterial strain was isolated from the sediments of zuari estuary, goa, india, which is a major hub of various ship-building activities. based on biochemical characteristics and 16s rdna sequence analysis, this bacterial strain was identified ... | 2015 | 25612551 |
