Biodegradation of the organic disulfide 4,4'-dithiodibutyric acid by Rhodococcus spp.
Four Rhodococcus spp. exhibited the ability to use 4,4'-dithiodibutyric acid (DTDB) as a sole carbon source for growth. The most important step for the production of a novel polythioester (PTE) using DTDB as a precursor substrate is the initial cleavage of DTDB. Thus, identification of the enzyme responsible for this step was mandatory. Because Rhodococcus erythropolis strain MI2 serves as a mo...
متن کاملInitial transformations in the biodegradation of benzothiazoles by Rhodococcus isolates.
Benzothiazole-2-sulfonate (BTSO3) is one of the side products occurring in 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) production wastewater. We are the first to isolate an axenic culture capable of BTSO3 degradation. The isolate was identified as a Rhodococcus erythropolis strain and also degraded 2-hydroxybenzothiazole (OBT) and benzothiazole (BT), but not MBT, which was found to inhibit the biodegradation...
متن کاملBiodegradation and Rhodococcus--masters of catabolic versatility.
The genus Rhodococcus is a very diverse group of bacteria that possesses the ability to degrade a large number of organic compounds, including some of the most difficult compounds with regard to recalcitrance and toxicity. They achieve this through their capacity to acquire a remarkable range of diverse catabolic genes and their robust cellular physiology. Rhodococcus appear to have adopted a s...
متن کاملAntimicrobial and Antioxidant Activity of Carotenoid Pigment Produced by Native Rhodococcus spp. Isolated From Soil
In recent years, scientists and researchers from all over the world pay much attention to carotenoid pigments as a substitute for antibiotics and synthetic chemical compounds with antioxidant property and the plants, various microorganisms including bacteria and algae are also capable of producing carotenoid pigments. In this research, the production of antimicrobial and antioxidant carotenoid ...
متن کاملGenome Sequencing of Pathogenic Rhodococcus spp.
Genome Sequencing of Pathogenic Rhodococcus spp. To the Editor: Infections caused by non-equi Rhodococcus spp. are uncommon but can cause severe pneumonia and bloodstream infections with sepsis (1–4). Increasing prevalence of immune-compromising illnesses and use of immunosuppres-sive agents might contribute to re-emergence of these pathogens (5,6). Rhodococci infections may go undi-agnosed or ...
