Abstract excerpt
A bacterial strain, designated MS4(T), was isolated from soil in the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan. The bacterium grew with 3-methyl sulfolane as sole sulfur source. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences suggested that strain MS4(T) belonged to the genus Shinella; it was closely related to the type strains of Shinella granuli and Shinella zoogloeoides (16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 98.2 and...
