| paracoccus aminophilus sp. nov. and paracoccus aminovorans sp. nov., which utilize n,n-dimethylformamide. | two methylamine- and n,n-dimethylformamide-utilizing paracoccus spp. are described. these bacteria are gram-negative, nonsporeforming, nonmotile, coccoid or short rod-shaped organisms. their dna base composition is 62 to 68 mol% g + c. their cellular fatty acids include large amounts of c18:1 acid. their major hydroxy acids are 3-oh c10:0 and 3-oh c14:0 acids. the major ubiquinone is q-10. these bacteria are distinguished from paracoccus denitrificans and paracoccus alcaliphilus by physiological ... | 1990 | 2397196 |
| paracoccus huijuniae sp. nov., an amide pesticide-degrading bacterium isolated from activated sludge of a wastewater biotreatment system. | a facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, gram-reaction-negative, coccoid to short rod-shaped strain, designated fln-7(t), was isolated from activated sludge of a wastewater biotreatment facility. the strain was able to hydrolyse amide pesticides (e.g. diflubenzuron, propanil, chlorpropham and dimethoate) through amide bond cleavage. strain fln-7(t) grew at 4-42 °c (optimum 28 °c), at ph 5.0-8.0 (optimum ph 7.0) and with 0-5.0 % (w/v) nacl (optimum ... | 2013 | 22753523 |
