Abstract

A Gram-negative bacterium was isolated from river sediment which was able to grow with nitrilotriacetic acid as a combined carbon, nitrogen and energy source in the absence of molecular oxygen using nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor. Batch growth parameters and mass balances are reported for growth under both aerobic and denitrifying conditions. The strain was characterized with respect to its substrate spectrum and other physiological properties. This denitrifying isolate is serologically unrelated to the comprehensively described Gram-negative obligately aerobic NTA-degrading bacteria all of which belong to the alpha-subclass of Proteobacteria. Chemotaxonomic characterization, which revealed the presence of spermidine as the main polyamine and ubiquinone Q-8, excludes the new isolate from the phylogenetically redefined genus Pseudomonas and indicates a possible location within the gamma-subclass of Proteobacteria close to, but separate from the genus Xanthomonas.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
