| tropicimonas isoalkanivorans gen. nov., sp. nov., a branched-alkane-degrading bacterium isolated from semarang port in indonesia. | an aerobic, gram-negative, motile bacterium, strain b51(t), was isolated from seawater obtained from semarang port in indonesia. cells of strain b51(t) were peritrichously flagellated and rod-shaped. strain b51(t) was able to degrade alkanes, branched alkanes and alkylnaphthalenes. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis revealed that strain b51(t) was affiliated with the family rhodobacteraceae, and was related most closely to thioclava pacifica tl 2(t) (94.6 % similarity). the dna g+c content of strai ... | 2009 | 19196783 |
| tropicimonas aquimaris sp. nov., isolated from seawater of the south sea in korea, and emended description of the genus tropicimonas harwati et al. 2009. | a gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated dpg-21t, was isolated from seawater of the south sea in korea, korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. strain dpg-21t grew optimally at ph 7.0-8.0, at 30 °c and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) nacl. neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that strain dpg-21t clustered with tropicimonas isoalkanivorans b51t (bootstrap resampling value of 97.6 %). it exhibited a 16s rrna ... | 2011 | 21551334 |
| tropicimonas sediminicola sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment in the south coast of korea. | a novel gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, strain m97t, was isolated from a marine sediment of cage-cultured ark clam farm in the south coast of korea. positive for oxidase and catalase. optimal growth occurred at 37 °c, in 1-2 % (w/v) nacl and at ph 7-8. the main cellular fatty acids were c16:0, c18:1 ω7c, c12:0 3oh and cyclo-c19:0 ω8c. the polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, unknown aminolipid and several unknown l ... | 2011 | 22140172 |
