| genome sequence of the ethene- and vinyl chloride-oxidizing actinomycete nocardioides sp. strain js614. | nocardioides sp. strain js614 grows on ethene and vinyl chloride (vc) as sole carbon and energy sources, and is of interest for bioremediation and biocatalysis. sequencing the complete genome of js614 provides insight into the genetic basis of alkene oxidation, supports ongoing research into the physiology and biochemistry of growth on ethene and vc, and provides biomarkers to facilitate detection of vc/ethene-oxidizers in the environment. this is the first genome sequence from the genus nocardi ... | 2011 | 21551312 |
| gaseous alkene biotransformation and enantioselective epoxyalkane formation by nocardioides sp. strain js614. | enantiopure epoxides are valuable intermediates in the synthesis of optically pure biologically active fine chemicals (e.g., pharmaceuticals) that are often difficult to produce by chemical approaches. an attractive alternative is biological synthesis by microorganisms expressing stereoselective enzymes. in this study, we investigated the ability of ethene-grown nocardioides sp. strain js614 to produce highly enantio-enriched epoxyalkanes via stereoselective monooxygenase-mediated alkene epoxida ... | 2009 | 19430773 |
| diversity and antagonistic activity of sea ice bacteria isolated from the sea of japan. | the aim of the study was to survey cultivable heterotrophic bacteria from sea ice samples collected from peter the great bay of the sea of japan, and to test the isolates for antagonistic activity. a total of 195 strains were isolated and investigated by a phenotypic approach. the 16s rrna gene sequence analysis of thirty eight strains revealed primarily representatives of the class gammaproteobacteria, phylum bacteroidetes, and phylum actinobacteria. members of the class alphaproteobacteria wer ... | 2008 | 21558710 |
