“…Raoultella ornithinolytica is an environmental Gram-negative bacilli that produces histamine, which leads to poisoning by ingestion of contaminated fish (Kanki et al 2002). In humans, it may cause fever-like syndrome, urinary tract infections, cutaneous infections in diabetics, and even septicaemia in immunocompromised individuals (Morais et al 2009;Solak et al 2011;Kaya et al 2015;Nakasone et al 2015).…”

“…Raoutella ornithilolytica is a Gram negative, rodshape, non motile and aerobic bacteria. Members of the Raoultella genus can grow at 10 °C in soil, water, and in mammalian system (Bergey, 1984) and are commonly found in an aquatic environment, fish and insect (Solak et al, 2011). Although previously there have been many virulence factors expressed by R. ornithilolytica (Nakajo et al, 2004;Ngugi et al, 2007) namely, reports detailing their resistance towards antibiotics such as penicillin, ampicillin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, rifampin, cephalothin, cephotaxime, streptomycin, amoxicillin (AlHulu et al, 2009).…”

Aims:The goal of the study is to isolate new bacteria species which are capable to utilizing 2,2-dichlropropionic acid (2-2-DCP) as a sole carbon source from the wastewater sample that was taken from Tioman Island off the coast of Malaysia. Methodology and results: Genomic DNA from unknown bacterial strain (MR1) was extracted and PCR amplification was carried out using universal primers, Fd1 (5'-AGA GTT TGA TCC TGGCTC AG-3') and rP1 (5'-ACG GTC ATA CCT TGT TAC GAC TT-3') prior to sequencing. The BLASTn and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA of the MR1 gene found it shares a 95% homology to an aerobic bacillus Raoutella ornithilolytica. The bacteria which is usually found in an aquatic and hospital environment was found to possess a distinctive feature of being able to utilize 2,2-DCP as sole carbon source. The bacteria has cell doubling time of 23.11 h and maximum release of chloride ion at 0.257 mmol/L in 20 mM 2,2-DCP. Based on morphological and partial biochemical characteristics, the strain was found to be non-motile, Gram negative bacteria with red colonies that gave a positive catalase reaction. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: A better understanding of newly isolated microorganisms from the environment which can potentially be used as bioremediation tools in environmental management. This is the first reported case of Raoutella sp. that has the unique ability to degrade halogenated compound. Hence, the dehalogenation properties and capabilities of the bacteria deserve to be assessed further.
