| microbulbifer mangrovi sp. nov., a polysaccharide-degrading bacterium isolated from an indian mangrove. | a rod-shaped, gram-negative, non-motile, aerobic and non-endospore forming bacterium, designated strain dd-13(t), was isolated from the mangrove ecosystem of goa, india. strain dd-13(t) degraded polysaccharides such as agar, alginate, chitin, cellulose, laminarin, pectin, pullulan, starch, carrageenan, xylan and β-glucan. the optimum ph and temperature for growth was 7 and 36 °c, respectively. the strain grew optimally in the presence of 3 % nacl (w/v). the dna g+c content was 61.4 mol%. the pre ... | 2013 | 23243090 |
