The pathway of anaerobic acetone degradation by the denitrifying bacterial strain BunN was studied by enzyme measurements in extracts of anaerobic acetone-grown cells. An ADP-and MgC12-dependent decarboxylation of acetoacetate was detected which could not be found in cell-free extracts of acetate-gr

A denitrifying bacterium showing typical characteristics of Pseudomonas sp. (All) capable of growth on 1-heptadecene as the sole source of carbon and energy has been isolated from a hydrocarbon-polluted marine sediment by using classical enrichment techniques. The generation time for anaerobic growt
From various oxic or anoxic habitats several strains of bacteria were isolated which in the absence of molecular oxygen oxidized phenol to CO2 with nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor. All strains grew in defined mineral salts medium; two of them were further characterized. The bacteria were f
The ability of bacterial cultures to degrade diethanolamine under anoxic conditions with nitrate as an electron acceptor was investigated. A mixed culture capable of anaerobic degradation of diethanolamine was obtained from fiver sediments by enrichment culture. From this a single bacterial strain w
Synergistes jonesii is a rumen bacterium that degrades toxic pyridinediols from Leucaena leucocephala. This work presents progress on the characterization of the degradation of dihydroxypyridines from L. leucocephala by S. jonesii, and particularly by its cell free extracts. The substrate 3-hydroxy-
