Cyclic-AMP Production by Corynebacterium murisepticum No. 7 (ATCC 21374) and Microbacterium sp. No. 205 (ATCC 21376)

Complete Genome Assembly of Corynebacterium sp. Strain ATCC 6931

The genus Corynebacterium is best known for the pathogen C. diphtheriae; however, it contains mostly commensal and nonpathogenic, as well as several opportunistic, pathogens. Here, we present the 2.47-Mb scaffolded assembly of the type strain, Corynebacterium sp. ATCC 6931 (NCTC 1914), as deposited into GenBank under accession number CP008913.

Production of docosahexaenoic acid by Aurantiochytrium sp. ATCC PRA-276

The high costs and environmental concerns associated with using marine resources as sources of oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids have prompted searches for alternative sources of such oils. Some microorganisms, among them members of the genus Aurantiochytrium, can synthesize large amounts of these biocompounds. However, various parameters that affect the polyunsaturated fatty acids produ...

Complete Genome Sequence of a Polypropylene Glycol-Degrading Strain, Microbacterium sp. No. 7

Microbacterium (formerly Corynebacterium) sp. No. 7 was isolated from activated sludge as a polypropylene glycol (PPG)-assimilating bacterial strain. Its oxidative PPG degradation has been proposed on the basis of PPG dehydrogenase activity and the metabolic products. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Microbacterium sp. No. 7. The genome of the strain No. 7 is composed of a 4,599,...

Enhanced Curdlan Production in Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 by Addition of Low-polyphosphates

A large amount of adenosine triphosphate is required in curdlan biosynthesis by Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 for uridine triphosphate regeneration. Three low-polyphosphates (Na4P2O7, Na5P3O10 and (NaPO3)6) with high energy phosphate bond were employed in the present work to substitute for KH2PO4-K2HPO4 in medium for curdlan production. The curdlan yield was enhanced by 23% and 134% when one fol...
