| nitrincola lacisaponensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel alkaliphilic bacterium isolated from an alkaline, saline lake. | a novel alkaliphilic bacterium, strain 4cat, was isolated from decomposing wood taken from the shore of soap lake, a saline, alkaline lake in grant county, wa, usa. cells of the isolate were gram-negative, asporogenous, short, motile rods that utilized only a limited range of organic acids as sole carbon and energy sources. in addition to oxygen, the strain possessed the ability to reduce in the presence of acetate. strain 4cat was oxidase- and catalase-positive; it degraded tween 60, but not dn ... | 2005 | 16280482 |
| biological breakdown of denitrifying sulfide removal process in high-rate expanded granular bed reactor. | this work conducted a denitrifying sulfide removal (dsr) test in an expanded granular sludge bed (egsb) reactor at sustainable loadings of 6.09 kg m(-3) day(-1) for sulfide, 3.11 kg m(-3) day(-1) for nitrate-nitrogen, and 3.27 kg m(-1) day(-1) for acetate-carbon with >93% efficiency, which is significantly higher than those reported in literature. strains pseudomonas sp., nitrincola sp., and azoarcus sp. very likely yield heterotrophs. strains thermothrix sp. and sulfurovum sp. are the autotroph ... | 2008 | 18972111 |
| arenicella xantha gen. nov., sp. nov., a gammaproteobacterium isolated from a marine sandy sediment. | a gram-negative, aerobic, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, strain kmm 3895t, was isolated from a marine sandy sample collected offshore from the sea of japan. phylogenetic analysis based on the 16s rrna gene sequence placed strain kmm 3895t in the class gammaproteobacteria, forming a separate branch, sharing 89.5 % sequence similarity with nitrincola lacisaponensis 4cat and 88-87% similarity with the other members of the cluster, including members of kangiella, spongiibacter, ... | 2010 | 19767361 |
