Gene transfer from a bacterium injected into an aquifer to an indigenous bacterium.
Two novel 3-chlorobenzoate-degrading bacteria were previously isolated from an aquifer in which no such bacteria could be enriched prior to the introduction of the 3-chlorobenzoate-degrading strain, Pseudomonas sp. B13. To understand the origin of 3-chlorobenzoate-degrading genes in the two novel isolates, the 16S ribosomal RNA, clcD (dienelactone hydrolase) and clcA (chlorocatechol oxygenase) ...
متن کاملAnthracene degradation by an oligotrophic bacterium isolated from refinery soil
Anthracene is a widespread environmental pollutant with carcinogenic and genotoxic properties. Biodegradation is a simple, cost-effective and safe technique to clean-up contaminated environments. The aims of this study are isolation and characterization of an oligotrophic bacterium with the ability to degrade anthracene and the assessment of in vitro biodegradation process. For this purpose pet...
متن کاملMechanism of plastid division: from a bacterium to an organelle.
Chloroplasts arose more than 1 billion years ago, when a free-living cyanobacterium became an endosymbiont in a eukaryotic host cell. Several lines of evidence indicate that all chloroplasts and their nonphotosynthetic relatives (plastids) are directly or indirectly derived from a single endosymbiotic event (Reyes-Prieto et al., 2007; Gould et al., 2008; Archibald, 2009; Fig. 1). The original e...
متن کاملIsolation of an arsenate-respiring bacterium from a redox front in an arsenic-polluted aquifer in West Bengal, Bengal Basin.
Natural pollution of groundwater by arsenic adversely affects the health of tens of millions of people worldwide, with the deltaic aquifers of SE Asia being particularly polluted. The pollution is caused primarily by, or as a side reaction of, the microbial reduction of sedimentary Fe(III)-oxyhydroxides, but the organism(s) responsible for As release have not been isolated. Here we report the f...
متن کاملOverproduction of Hydrogen from an Anaerobic Bacterium
A derivative of the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium phytofermentans was isolated and shown to produce two moles of hydrogen per mole of glucose and similar yields from cellulosic feedstocks. The strain (cpnit-1) was selected for its rapid growth in a chemostat under nitrogen fixation conditions. The rare ability of cpnit-1 to stably, anaerobically produce hydrogen while rapidly fixing its own n...
