Journal ArticleDOI
Obligate oil-degrading marine bacteria.
TL;DR: Genome sequencing and functional genomic analysis of Alcanivorax borkumensis, the paradigm of OHCB, has provided significant insights into the genomic basis of the efficiency and versatility of its hydrocarbon utilization, the metabolic routes underlying its special hydrocarbon diet, and its ecological success.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcanivorax borkumensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a new, hydrocarbon-degrading and surfactant-producing marine bacterium
Michail M. Yakimov,Peter N. Golyshin,Siegmund Lang,Edward R. B. Moore,Wolf-Rainer Abraham,Heinrich Lünsdorf,Kenneth N. Timmis +6 more
TL;DR: A new genus and species, Alcanivorax borkumensis, is described to include six heterotrophic bacterial strains isolated from enriched mixed cultures, obtained from sea water/sediment samples collected near the isle of Borkum (North Sea), using Mihagol-S (C14,15-n-alkanes) as principal carbon source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a new lipopeptide surfactant produced by thermotolerant and halotolerant subsurface Bacillus licheniformis BAS50.
TL;DR: Purified lichenysin A decreases the surface tension of water from 72 mN/m to 28 mN /liter and achieves the critical micelle concentration with as little as 12 mg/liter, characterizing the product as a powerful surface-active agent that compares favorably to others surfactants.

TL;DR: The genome sequence provides the basis for the future design of strategies to mitigate the ecological damage caused by oil spills and provides A. borkumensis SK2 with a competitive edge in oil-polluted environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ferroplasma acidiphilum gen. nov., sp. nov., an acidophilic, autotrophic, ferrous-iron-oxidizing, cell-wall-lacking, mesophilic member of the Ferroplasmaceae fam. nov., comprising a distinct lineage of the Archaea.

TL;DR: An isolate of an acidophilic archaeon, strain YT, was obtained from a bioleaching pilot plant and showed this strain to cluster phylogenetically within the order 'Thermoplasmales' sensu Woese, although with only 89.9% sequence identity to its closest relatives, Picrophilus oshimae and Thermoplasma acidophilum.
