Pseudomonas sp. strain PI1 can cometabolize indole in the presence of phenol to produce various indigoids. Here, we present a 7.2-Mb draft genome sequence of strain PI1, which may provide insight into the study of phenol-indole cometabolism and its application in aromatic bioremediation and wastewater treatment processes.

This study determined the effect of surfactant Triton X-100 (1%) on biodegradation of various by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by Pseudomonas sp. PSS6. Sprayed-plate experiments were performed to find the degrading capability of the test isolate. The test strain efficiently degraded PAHs to a greater extent compared to other isolates forming an intensive clear zone in Bushnell–Haas ag...

Pseudomonas sp. strain CCA1 was isolated from leaf soil collected in Higashi-Hiroshima City in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. Here, we present a draft genome sequence of this strain. The genome consists of 24 contigs for a total of 6,993,992 bp, 8,917 predicted coding sequences, and a GC content of 67.2%.

The involvement of coenzyme M in aerobic biodegradation of vinyl chloride and ethene in Pseudomonas putida strain AJ and Ochrobactrum sp. strain TD was demonstrated using PCR, hybridization, and enzyme assays. The results of this study extend the range of eubacteria known to use epoxyalkane:coenzyme M transferase.

Pseudomonas sp. strain JMM was isolated from the sediments of a natural water reservoir (pH, 6 to 7) located at Chambyal village in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Here we report the annotated draft genome sequence of strain JMM having 52 contigs with 5,884 genes and an average G+C content of 66.5%.

Microorganisms, such as Pseudomonas putida, utilize specific physical properties of cellular membrane constituents, mainly glycerophospholipids, to (re-)adjust the membrane barrier to environmental stresses. Building a basis for membrane composition/function studies, we inventoried the glycerophospholipids of different Pseudomonas and challenged membranes of growing cells with n-butanol. Using ...

The biotransformation of lithocholic acid by Pseudomonas sp. strain NCIB 10590 under anaerobic conditions was studied. The major products were identified as androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione and 3-oxochol-4-ene-24-oic acid. The minor products included 17beta-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3-one, 17beta-hydroxyandrosta-1,4-diene-3-one, 3-oxo-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid, 3-oxochola-1,4-diene-24-oic acid, 3-oxopre...

Solutions of biologically active substances insoluble in water (thiosulfoesters, anthraquinone derivatives, pyrazoline) were obtained using a combined solvent and biogenic surfactants. For this purpose used rhamnolipids, their biocomplex with polysaccharides synthesized by the Pseudomonas SP strain. PS-17, trehalosolipids Rhodococcus erythropolis AU-1 strain, commercial biosurfactant surfactant...

We investigated the role of the surfactant proteins (SPs) A and D in the pulmonary immune defense of nonmucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the most etiologic agents of nosocomial Pseudomonas pneumonia. We first examined the interactions of recombinant human SP-D dodecamers and purified natural or recombinant human SP-A with two smooth, and two rough, clinical isolates of nonmucoid P. aer...

The bacterial strain 2-92T, isolated from a field plot under long-term (>40 years) mineral fertilization, exhibited in vitro antagonistic properties against fungal pathogens. A polyphasic approach was undertaken to verify its taxonomic status. Strain 2-92T was Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, motile by one or more flagella, and oxidase-, catalase- and urease-positive. The opt...
