One of the dominant strains, R3, which contained a novel type of LmPH (P3), was closely related toValivorax paradoxus, and the result of a kinetic analysis of its phenol-oxygenating activity suggested that this strain was the principal phenol digester in the activated sludge.

Three Gram-negative, motile, mesophilic, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterial strains isolate from Indonesian seawater exhibited high n-alkane-degrading activity, which indicated that the strains were important degraders of petroleum aliphatic hydrocarbons in tropical marine environments.

Oceanobacter-related bacteria could be major degraders of petroleum n-alkanes spilt in the tropical sea after an accidental oil spill and continue to dominate in the environment after biostimulation.

Aims: Investigation of the alkane‐degrading properties of Dietzia sp. H0B, one of the isolated Corynebacterineae strains that became dominant after the Prestige oil spill.

PhcS Represses Gratuitous Expression of Phenol-Metabolizing Enzymes in Comamonas testosteroni R5

Results show that the PhcS protein repressed the gratuitous expression of phenol-metabolizing enzymes in the absence of the genuine substrate and that strain R5 acted by an unknown mechanism in which thePhcS-mediated repression was overcome in the presence of the pathway substrate.
An Outbreak of Nonflocculating Catabolic Populations Caused the Breakdown of a Phenol-Digesting Activated-Sludge Process

It is suggested that an outbreak of nonflocculating catabolic populations caused the breakdown of the activated-sludge process and the usefulness of gyrB-targeted fine population analyses in microbial ecology is demonstrated.

The metabolic engineering of flax plants to increase carotenoid amount in seeds suggests that the flux of phytoene synthesis from geranylgeranyl diphosphate was first promoted by the expressed crtB gene product (CrtB), and then phy toene was consecutively decomposed to the downstream metabolites alpha-carotene, beta-carotsene, and lutein, as catalyzed by endogenous carOTenoid biosynthetic enzymes in seeds.
