Abstract excerpt
An anaerobic bacterium that transforms phenol and 4-hydroxybenzoate (4-OHB) into benzoate, strain LR7.2T, was isolated from a culture originating from a mixture of swamp water, sewage sludge, swine waste and soil. Cells of strain LR7.2T are Gram-positive short rods (1 x 2 microm) that are electron-dense when observed by electron microscopy. The optimum pH and temperature for growth and transformation activity of...
