Abstract excerpt
An aerobic, Gram-negative, motile bacterium, strain C02(T), was isolated from seawater obtained from Semarang Port in Indonesia. Cells of strain C02(T) were peritrichously flagellated and rod-shaped. Strain C02(T) was able to degrade naphthalene, alkylnaphthalenes and phenanthrene. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that this strain was affiliated with the family Rhodobacteraceae in the class...
