survival and activity of lux-marked phenanthrene-degrading pseudomonas stutzeri p16 under different conditions
viable cell concentration and luminescence activity of p. stutzeri p16 luxab4 was measured byplate counting and luminometery in sterile and non-sterile soil adjusted to matric potential of -1500, -750 and-30 kpa. results showed that matric potential had a significant effect on survival and activity of p. stutzerip16 luxab4 in soil. p. stutzeri p16 luxab4 could survive better in hutner’s minimal...
full textIsolation and Characterization of Microcystin- Degrading Bacterium
The most commonly encountered cyanobacterial toxins in freshwater are microcystins. Microcystins are extremely stable and resistant to chemical hydrolysis or oxidation and can cause illness or death in animals and humans. In this study, a total of 15 bacterial strains were isolated and screened for microcystin degradative activity from Kaen Nakhon Lake, Khon Kaen Province, Thailand. Among these...
full textColonization on Root Surface by a Phenanthrene-Degrading Endophytic Bacterium and Its Application for Reducing Plant Phenanthrene Contamination
A phenanthrene-degrading endophytic bacterium, Pn2, was isolated from Alopecurus aequalis Sobol grown in soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Based on morphology, physiological characteristics and the 16S rRNA gene sequence, it was identified as Massilia sp. Strain Pn2 could degrade more than 95% of the phenanthrene (150 mg · L(-1)) in a minimal salts medium (MSM) wi...
full textEnvironmental Chemistry TOXICITY OF CHLOROBENZENES TO A LUX-MARKED TERRESTRIAL BACTERIUM, PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS
Insertion of lux genes, encoding for bioluminescence in naturally bioluminescent marine bacteria, into the genome of Pseudomonas fluorescens resulted in a bioluminescent strain of this terrestrial bacterium. The lux-marked bacterium was used to toxicity test the chlorobenzene series. By correlating chlorobenzenes 50% effective concentration (EC50) values against physiochemical parameters, the p...
full textIsolation and characterization of a chlorinated-pyridinol-degrading bacterium.
The isolation of a pure culture of bacteria able to use 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) as a sole source of carbon and energy under aerobic conditions was achieved for the first time. The bacterium was identified as a Pseudomonas sp. and designated ATCC 700113. [2,6-(sup14)C]TCP degradation yielded (sup14)CO(inf2), chloride, and unidentified polar metabolites.
full textIsolation, identification, and characterization of a feather-degrading bacterium.
A feather-degrading culture was enriched with isolates from a poultry waste digestor and adapted to grow with feathers as its primary source of carbon, sulfur, and energy. Subsequently, a feather-hydrolytic, endospore-forming, motile, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from the feather-degrading culture. The organism was Gram stain variable and catalase positive and demonstrated facultative grow...
