Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of novel strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens possessing high efficiency to degrade gasoline, kerosene, diesel oil, and lubricating oil.
Patcharaporn Wongsa,Makiko Tanaka,Akio Ueno,Mohammad Hasanuzzaman,Isao Yumoto,Hidetoshi Okuyama +5 more
TL;DR: Two strains, WatG and HokM, which were identified as new strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens species, respectively, showed relatively high capacity and wide spectrum to degrade the hydrocarbons in gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and lubricating oil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of bacteria from soil contaminated with diesel oil and the possible use of these in autochthonous bioaugmentation
TL;DR: Two bacterial species were isolated from a paddy soil microcosm that had been artificially contaminated with diesel oil to which extrinsic Pseudomonasaeruginosa strain WatG, had been added exogenously and one species, which was tentatively identified as a Rhodococcus sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation Of Long-Chain N-Alkanes (C36 And C40) By Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Strain Watg
Mohammad Hasanuzzaman,Akio Ueno,Hitoshi Ito,Yukiya Ito,Yusuke Yamamoto,Isao Yumoto,Hidetoshi Okuyama +6 more
TL;DR: These results demonstrate that P. aeruginosa strain WatG has the ability to degrade long-chain alkanes up to C 40, when they are solubilized by crude oil components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: Their Biosynthetic Genes, Functions, and Practical Use.
Kiyohito Yoshida,Mikako Hashimoto,Ryuji Hori,Takumi Adachi,Hidetoshi Okuyama,Yoshitake Orikasa,Tadashi Nagamine,Satoru Shimizu,Akio Ueno,Naoki Morita +9 more
TL;DR: In bacteria, LC-PUFAs appear to take part in specific functions facilitating individual membrane proteins rather than in the adjustment of the physical fluidity of the whole cell membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of clustered genes that are notably homologous to the eicosapentaenoic acid biosynthesis gene cluster from the docosahexaenoic acid-producing bacterium Vibrio marinus strain MP-1
Mika Tanaka,Akio Ueno,Kosei Kawasaki,Isao Yumoto,Satoru Ohgiya,Tamotsu Hoshino,Kozo Ishizaki,Hidetoshi Okuyama,Naoki Morita +8 more
TL;DR: A 40-kbp DNA fragment was isolated from the cosmid library of Vibrio marinus strain MP-1 and it is speculated that these ORFs 8, 9, 10 and 11 had high homology with ORFs 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the eicosapentaenoic acid biosynthesis gene cluster.
