| characterization of cultures enriched from acidic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated soil for growth on pyrene at low ph. | two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (pah)-contaminated soils of ph 2 were successfully used as inoculum to enrich cultures growing on phenanthrene and pyrene at different phs, including ph 3. selected pyrene-utilizing cultures obtained at ph 3, ph 5, and ph 7 were further characterized. all showed rapid [14c]pyrene mineralization at ph 3 and ph 5 and grew on pyrene at ph values ranging from 2 to 6. eubacterial and mycobacterial 16s rrna gene denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis fingerprinting ... | 2007 | 17369339 |
| characterization of mycobacterium montefiorense sp. nov., a novel pathogenic mycobacterium from moray eels that is related to mycobacterium triplex. | the characterization of a novel mycobacterium sp. isolated from granulomatous skin lesions of moray eels is reported. analysis of the hsp65 gene, small-subunit rrna gene, rrna spacer region, and phenotypic characteristics demonstrate that this organism is distinct from its closest genetic match, mycobacterium triplex, and it has been named m. montefiorense sp. nov. | 2003 | 12734264 |
