| neptuniibacter caesariensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel marine genome-sequenced gammaproteobacterium. | a gram-negative, slightly halophilic, strictly aerobic, motile chemoorganotrophic bacterium, strain med92(t), was isolated from a surface water sample from the eastern mediterranean sea. phylogenetic analysis based on its 16s rrna gene sequence, retrieved from the whole-genome sequence, demonstrated that this isolate is unique, showing <93 % sequence similarity to species of the families oceanospirillaceae and alteromonadaceae. the polar lipid profile of the novel strain consisted of phosphatidy ... | 2007 | 17473248 |
| sulfoacetate released during the assimilation of taurine-nitrogen by neptuniibacter caesariensis: purification of sulfoacetaldehyde dehydrogenase. | taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonate) is a widespread natural product whose nitrogen moiety was recently shown to be assimilated by bacteria, usually with excretion of an organosulfonate via undefined novel pathways; other data involve transcriptional regulator taur in taurine metabolism. a screen of genome sequences for taur with the blast algorithm allowed the hypothesis that the marine gammaproteobacterium neptuniibacter caesariensis med92 would inducibly assimilate taurine-nitrogen and excrete su ... | 2008 | 18506422 |
| cloning and nucleotide sequences of carbazole degradation genes from marine bacterium neptuniibacter sp. strain car-sf. | the marine bacterium neptuniibacter sp. strain car-sf utilizes carbazole as its sole carbon and nitrogen sources. two sets of clustered genes related to carbazole degradation, the upper and lower pathways, were obtained. the marine bacterium genes responsible for the upper carbazole degradation pathway, caraa, carba, carbb, and carc, encode the terminal oxygenase component of carbazole 1,9a-dioxygenase, the small and large subunits of the meta-cleavage enzyme, and the meta-cleavage compound hydr ... | 2010 | 20039169 |
| neptuiibacter halophilus sp. nov., isolated from the saltpan. | a bacterial strain designated antisso-13(t) was isolated from the saltpan, collected from southern taiwan and was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. strain antisso-13(t) was gram-negative, aerobic, cream white colored, rod-shaped, and motile by single monopolar flagellum. phylogenetic analyses based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that strain antisso-13(t) belonged to the genus neptuniibacter and its most closely neighbour was n. caesariensis ccug 52065(t), with sequence simi ... | 2011 | 21705446 |
