| zearalenone degradation by two pseudomonas strains from soil. | this study describes the screening of soil bacteria for their capability to degrade zearalenone (zen), employing an enrichment technique in which zen is used as the sole carbon source. two isolates that were able to degrade zen belonged to the genus pseudomonas according to biochemical characterization and 16s rrna gene sequence and were named as pseudomonas alcaliphila th-c1 and pseudomonas plecoglossicida th-l1, respectively. the results showed that the degradation rates of p. alcaliphila th-c ... | 2014 | 24879510 |
| isolation of bacteriophages specific to a fish pathogen, pseudomonas plecoglossicida, as a candidate for disease control. | two types of bacteriophage specific to pseudomonas plecoglossicida, the causative agent of bacterial hemorrhagic ascites disease in cultured ayu fish (plecoglossus altivelis), were isolated from diseased ayu and the rearing pond water. one type of phage, which formed small plaques, was tentatively classified as a member of the family myoviridae, and the other type, which formed large plaques, was classified as a member of the family podoviridae. all 27 strains of p. plecoglossicida examined, whi ... | 2000 | 10742221 |
| pseudomonas guariconensis sp. nov., isolated from rhizospheric soil. | we isolated a bacterial strain designated pcavu11(t) in the course of a study of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria occurring in rhizospheric soil of vigna unguiculata (l.) walp. in guárico state, venezuela. the 16s rrna gene sequence had 99.2 % sequence similarity with respect to the most closely related species, pseudomonas taiwanensis, and 99.1 % with respect to pseudomonas entomophila, pseudomonas plecoglossicida and pseudomonas monteilii, on the basis of which pcavu11(t) was classified as repr ... | 2013 | 23847284 |
| profenofos insecticide degradation by novel microbial consortium and isolates enriched from contaminated chili farm soil. | profenofos (pf) is one of the heavily used organophosphorus pesticides (opps) of which its contamination is ubiquitous in an agricultural area. this study aims to acquire and characterize pf-degrading bacterial cultures from contaminated soil. opp degradation by the novel isolates was then investigated. the experiment was performed at the initial pf concentration of 20 mg/l. the result showed that the enriched consortium comprised three predominant pf-degrading strains designated as pf1, pf2, an ... | 2015 | 25065481 |
| a simple strategy for investigating the diversity and hydrocarbon degradation abilities of cultivable bacteria from contaminated soil. | the use of indigenous bacterial strains is a valuable bioremediation strategy for cleaning the environment from hydrocarbon pollutants. the isolation and selection of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria is therefore crucial for obtaining the most promising strains for site decontamination. two different media, a minimal medium supplemented with a mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and a ms medium supplemented with triphenyltetrazolium chloride, were used for the isolation of bacterial strain ... | 2013 | 23386320 |
| genome-wide identification and characterization of genes encoding cyclohexylamine degradation in a novel cyclohexylamine-degrading bacterial strain of pseudomonas plecoglossicida nyz12. | the gram-negative strain of pseudomonas plecoglossicida nyz12 isolated from soil has the ability to degrade cyclohexylamine (cham). the genes encoding cham degradation by gram-negative bacteria, however, have not been reported previously. in this study, orfs predicted to encode cham degradation by nyz12 were identified by bioinformatics analysis. differential expression of the proposed orfs was analyzed via rna-seq and quantitative reverse transcription-pcr (qrt-pcr), using rna extracted from ny ... | 2017 | 28472672 |
