| sporobacterium olearium gen. nov., sp. nov., a new methanethiol-producing bacterium that degrades aromatic compounds, isolated from an olive mill wastewater treatment digester. | a strictly chemo-organotrophic, anaerobic bacterium was isolated from an olive mill wastewater treatment digester on syringate and designated strain sr1t. the cells were slightly curved rods, stained gram-positive and possessed terminal spores. strain sr1t utilized crotonate, methanol and a wide range of aromatic compounds including 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (tmb), 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate (tmc), syringate, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylacetate (tmpa), 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylpropionate (tmpp), ferulate, ... | 1999 | 10555356 |
| obligate sulfide-dependent degradation of methoxylated aromatic compounds and formation of methanethiol and dimethyl sulfide by a freshwater sediment isolate, parasporobacterium paucivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. | methanethiol (mt) and dimethyl sulfide (dms) have been shown to be the dominant volatile organic sulfur compounds in freshwater sediments. previous research demonstrated that in these habitats mt and dms are derived mainly from the methylation of sulfide. in order to identify the microorganisms that are responsible for this type of mt and dms formation, several sulfide-rich freshwater sediments were amended with two potential methyl group-donating compounds, syringate and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoat ... | 2001 | 11525999 |
