| aestuariimicrobium kwangyangense gen. nov., sp. nov., an ll-diaminopimelic acid-containing bacterium isolated from tidal flat sediment. | four gram-positive, catalase-positive, short rod- or coccoid-shaped bacterial strains, r27(t), r44, r45 and r47, were isolated from an enrichment culture with diesel oil-degradation activity and their taxonomic positions were investigated using a polyphasic approach. phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic similarities indicated that strains r27(t), r44, r45 and r47 belong to the same species. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that the four strains form a distinct evolut ... | 2007 | 17766882 |
