| nocardioides oleivorans sp. nov., a novel crude-oil-degrading bacterium. | the crude-oil-degrading strain bas3(t) represents a novel nocardioides species, according to a taxonomic study. the 16s rrna gene sequence of strain bas3(t) was most similar to that of nocardioides ganghwensis (imsnu 14028(t); 99% similarity), but the dna-dna relatedness to this type strain was only 32%. the physiological properties of strain bas3(t) differ from those of n. ganghwensis (imsnu 14028(t)) and other species of nocardioides. the diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain b ... | 2005 | 16014472 |
| nocardioides kribbensis sp. nov., isolated from an alkaline soil. | three gram-positive, rod- or coccoid-shaped bacterial strains, ksl-2(t), ksl-5 and ksl-6, were isolated from an alkaline soil in korea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomical analysis. these isolates grew optimally at ph 9.0 and 30 degrees c. they were characterized chemotaxonomically as having cell wall peptidoglycan based on ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid, mk-8(h(4)) as the predominant menaquinone and iso-c(16:0) as the major fatty acid. the dna g+c content of the isolates was 73-74 mol%. strain ... | 2005 | 16014490 |
| nocardioides dubius sp. nov., isolated from an alkaline soil. | a gram-positive, rod- or coccus-shaped bacterial strain, ksl-104(t), was isolated from an alkaline soil from korea and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. strain ksl-104(t) grew optimally at ph 7.0-8.0 and 30 degrees c. it was characterized chemotaxonomically as having a cell-wall peptidoglycan type based on ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid with mk-8(h(4)) as the predominant menaquinone. the major fatty acid was iso-c(16:0) and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylgl ... | 2005 | 16166734 |
| the microbial community in a 2,4-dinitrophenol-digesting reactor as revealed by 16s rdna gene analysis. | the microbial community of a 2,4-dinitrophenol-digesting reactor was investigated using different molecular biological techniques based on 16s rdna gene sequences. a pcr-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge) analysis of the bacterial community in the reactor showed that one strong and five minor bands were observed in the dgge profile. the results of excising and sequencing dgge bands suggested that members of rhodococcus, nocardioides, and nitrospira species were present in the reactor ... | 2003 | 16233485 |
| production of completely flavinylated histamine dehydrogenase, unique covalently bound flavin, and iron-sulfur cluster-containing enzyme of nocardioides simplex in escherichia coli, and its properties. | the hmd gene of histamine dehydrogenase from nocardioides simplex was overexpressed in escherichia coli, and the resulting enzyme was purified to homogeneity. the purified recombinant enzyme is almost identical with the native enzyme in view of molecular weight and specific activity, and is stoichiometrically assembled with the three cofactors 6-s-cysteinyl fmn, 4fe-4s cluster, and adp. | 2005 | 16377910 |
