“…Biotechnologically important Nocardioides species have been described previously (Arima et al, 1969;Gundersen & Jensen, 1956;Yoon et al, 1997), and recently we isolated a Nocardioides-like isolate (strain NSP41') which simultaneously degrades phenol and p-nitrophenol. From 16s rDNA sequence analysis (Yoon et al, 1998a), a strain, NSP41T, was shown to be the most related to Nocardioides simplex strains by its nucleotide similarity of 98.6 %.…”

3 Japan Collection of A p-nitrophenol-degrading bacterial strain was isolated from industrial wastewater. This strain (NSP413 was identified as a member of the genus Nocardioides from c hemotaxonom i c characterizations and p h y I og enet ic inference based on 165 rDNA sequence analysis. The G+C content is 71.4 mol%.The diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan is u-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant menaquinone is MK=8(HJ. The cellular fatty acid profile is similar to those of Nocardioides species. 165 rDNA sequence analysis show that strain NSP41T is the most related to Nocardioides simplex strains with a level of nucleotide similarity of 986%. The levels of 165 rDNA similarity between strain NSP4V and other Nocardioides species ranged from 93.8 to 95.1 %. This organism is distinguishable from some other Nocardioides species as well as N.simplex strains by DNA-DNA relatedness data. This organism is different from N. simplex strains in some phenotypic characteristics. Therefore, on the basis of the data presented, a new species of the genus Nocardioides, Nocardioides nitrophenolicus, is proposed. The type strain of the new species i s strain NSP41T (= KCTC 0457BP3.

“…The motility of A, simplex CNF 035 and "Brevibacterium lipolyticum" CNF 036 and CNF 037 was observed by the hanging drop method. Flagellation of these strains was reported previously to be lateral (12,14) or peritrichous (10). A. tumescens CNF 067 and A. simplex CNF 091 were not motile.…”

Coryneform bacteria with LL-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall were characterized.Morphological, biochemical, and chemotaxonomic characteristics, and DNA homologies revealed that they form an independent cluster among the coryneform bacteria.A new genus Pimelobacter is proposed for this group of coryneform bacteria.The type species of the genus Pimelobacter is Pimelobacter simplex comb. nov., which was previously named Art hrobacter simplex. Further, Pimelobacter jensenii sp. nov. and Pimelobacter tumescens comb. nov. are also described.The genus Arthrobacter was established for soil coryneform bacteria with a life cycle different from Corynebacterium and Mycobacterium by CONN and DIM-MICK in 1947 (1). The chemotaxonomic heterogeneity of the genus Arthrobacter was first pointed out by CUMMINS and HARRIS (2). Some strains have lysine in the cell wall and others have LL-diaminopimelic acid (LL-DAP). Later, FIEDLER et a!. (3) and YAMADA and KoMAGATA (4) reported that a majority of the Arthrobacter strains, including the type species Arthrobacter globiformis, have lysine and a few strains have LL-DAP in the cell wall.YAMADA and K®MAGATA (4) also reported that the DNA base composition of Arthrobacter strains with lysine in the cell wall ranges from 58 to 65 mol % of guanine plus cytosine (mol 0 G-+ C), while the DNA base composition of the coryneform bacteria with LL-DAP in the cell wall ranges from 70 to 72 mol % G+C; but the two groups of bacteria resemble each other with respect to their morphological and biochemical characteristics. The study of DNA homologies show that the coryneform bacteria with LL-DAP in the cell wall fall into one cluster and 1 Present address : Japan Collection

“…A strain of Corynebacterium simplex, isolated from soil treated with the herbicide 4-6-dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC), utilised DNOC as the sole carbon and nitrogen source liberating more than 70% of the nitrogen in DNOC as nitrite GUNDERSEN 1955, GUNDERSEN andJENSEN 1956). The decomposition of DNOC proceeded presumably by an initial attack at the para-nitro group, followed by attack on the second nitro group.…”

“…Meta-substituted aromatic compounds are known for their extreme resistance to microbial degradation (GUNDERSEN and JENSEN 1956, KAMEDA et al 1958, CARTWRIGHT and CAIN 1959, ALEXANDER and LUSTIGMAN 1966. In a systematic study, KAMEDA et al (1958) isolated with ease several strains of Pseudomonas capable of utilising 0-and p-methoxybenzoate, 0-and p-aminobenzoate, and p-nitrobenzoate, but none of the 34 pseudomonads utilised m-methoxy-l, m-amino-, and m-nitrobenzoates.…”
