Two strains named ESC1(T) and ESC5 were isolated from nodules of Cytisus scoparius growing in a Spanish soil. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed that these strains belong to the genus Ochrobactrum, their closest relatives being Ochrobactrum anthropi and Ochrobactrum lupini, with 100 and 99.9 % similarity to the respective type strains. Despite this high similarity, the results of...

In order to study fenpropathrin degrading more accurate than turbidimetry. We proposed Live Bacteria Detection method (LBD) based on high precision microscopic image processing and Support Vector Machine (SVM) identification to analyze the optimal condition of fenpropathrin degradation by Ochrobactrum anthropic. The optimal fenpropathrin degradation condition measured by LBD is pH 7.0 and 34°C....

AFLP was used to analyze the genetic diversity among Ochrobactrum strains. AFLP patterns showed a great genomic variability that separated the samples into three distinct clusters. Ochrobactrum intermedium was found to be closely related to Brucella abortus S99.

Ochrobactrum and Brucella are closely related bacteria that populate different habitats and differ in their pathogenic properties. Only little is known about mobile genetic elements in these genera which might be important for survival and virulence. Previous studies on Brucella lysogeny indicated that active phages are rare in this genus. To gain insight into the presence and nature of prophag...

Ochrobactrum anthropi W13P3 was isolated from saline soil contaminated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and could degrade PAHs with 5% NaCl. We report the 5.3-Mb draft genome sequence of this strain, which is helpful for understanding the diversity of Ochrobactrum spp. and the mechanism of PAH degradation in saline environments.

Ochrobactrum sp. T was previously isolated from a sludge sample collected from an electronic waste recycling site and characterized as a unique tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA)-degrading bacterium. Here, the draft genome sequence (3.9 Mb) of Ochrobactrum sp. T is reported to provide insights into its diversity and its TBBPA biodegradation mechanism in polluted environments.

Background: Because of the growing population and increasing freshwater consumption, treatment reuse greywater have been widely considered. The application a new environmentally friendly method for synthetic real (RGW) is utmost importance. This study aimed to evaluate efficiency combination ozonation, biological activated carbon, ultrafiltration (O3 /BAC/UF) in removal chemical oxygen demand (...

A large collection of bacterial strains, immunotrapped from soil and from the wheat rhizoplane, was subjected to polyphasic taxonomy by examining various pheno- and genotypic parameters. Strains were grouped on (inter) repetitive extragenic palindromic DNA (REP) PCR profiles at the intraspecies level. Pheno- and genotypic characters were assessed for representatives from 13 different REP groups...
