Gordonia namibiensis sp. nov., a novel nitrile metabolising actinomycete recovered from an African sand.

Systematic and applied microbiology - 1 Dec 2001

Brandão P F, Maldonado L A, Ward A C, Bull A T, Goodfellow M

Abstract excerpt

A polyphasic approach was used to establish the taxonomic position of two actinomycetes isolated from a Namibian soil and shown to utilise nitrile compounds as growth substrates. The organisms, strains NAM-BN063AT and NAM-BN063B, had chemical and morphological properties consistent with their assignment to the genus Gordonia. Direct 165 rRNA sequencing studies confirmed the taxonomic position of the strains...
