Abstract

A yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, designated LL01(T), was isolated from hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-contaminated soil at Spolana Neratovice, a former Czech producer of lindane. A neighbour-joining tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain LL01(T) occupied a distinct phylogenetic position in the Sphingobium cluster, showing highest similarity to Sphingobium rhizovicinum CC-FH12-1(T) (98.5 %). The DNA G+C content of strain LL01(T) was 66.1 mol%. The predominant respiratory pigment was ubiquinone Q-10. The polar lipid profile of strain LL01(T) also corresponded to those reported for other Sphingobium species (phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, sphingoglycolipids), supporting its identification as a member of the genus Sphingobium. Spermidine was the major polyamine observed. The results obtained from DNA-DNA hybridization and biochemical and physiological tests clearly distinguished strain LL01(T) from closely related species of the genus Sphingobium. Therefore, strain LL01(T) represents a novel species of the genus Sphingobium, for which the name Sphingobium czechense sp. nov. is propos...Continue Reading

Cavernous Hemangioma

Cavernous hemangioma is a blood vessel defect or benign tumor that leads to leakage of blood to the surrounding tissues. This can occur in several organs including the brain, which can lead to seizures. Discover the latest research on cavernous hemangiomas here.
