Strain DC-200T was isolated from homemade compost produced from kitchen refuse and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The isolate was a Gram-positive motile short rod, facultatively aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative, and was able to grow at 10–37 6C, pH 6.0–9.5 and with up to 5% of NaCl. The peptidoglycan was of the type B1 alpha and the muramic acid residues were glycolylated. The major f...
Strain SC-087BT, isolated from sewage sludge compost during a study of bacterial diversity in composts, was characterized. The isolate was a Gram-positive, short rod that was motile, catalase- and oxidase-negative and able to grow at 27–45 6C, pH 5.5–9.7 and in up to 10% NaCl. The peptidoglycan was of the B2b type, containing the characteristic amino acids ornithine, homoserine and hydroxyglutamic acid. The mur...
Two bacterial strains, PC-142 and PC-147T, isolated from poultry litter compost, were characterized with respect to their phenetic and phylogenetic characteristics. The isolates were endospore-forming rods that were reddish in colour after Gram staining. They were catalaseand oxidase-positive, were able to degrade starch and gelatin and grew at 15–40 6C and pH 5.5–10.0. The predominant fatty acids were anteiso-...
