Abstract
-
Strain Mol12T, which presented in the form of Gram-negative,
motile, non-spore forming rod-shaped, was isolated from
soil in South Korea and characterized to determine its taxonomic
position. The strain grew at 20–30°C (optimum 30°C)
and pH 7.0–10.0 (optimum pH 8.0) with 1% (w/v) NaCl.
Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences
showed that the strain Mol12T was most closely related to
Ensifer terangae LMG 7834T (96.78%), Rhizobium daejeonense
KCTC 12121T (96.43%), Ensifer adhaerens Casida AT
(96.28%). Chemotaxonomic data showed that the predominant
fatty acids were Summed Feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and/or
C18:1 ω6c; 53.02%) and C18:1 ω7c 11-methyl (24.01%). Its complex
polar lipid contained major amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol
(DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and Q-10
as the predominant ubiquinone. The DNA G+C content of
strain Mol12T was determined to be 60.9 mol%. Based on
the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic data,
strain Mol12T (=KCTC 42816T =JCM 31049T) ought to be
classified as a type strain of a novel species, for which the
name Ensifer collicola sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract
-
An arsenite (As[III])-oxidizing bacterium, SDB1, was isolated from mine tailing collected from the Sangdong mine area in Korea and showed chemolithotrophic growth on As[III] and CO2 as the respective electron and carbon sources. SDB1 is Gram-negative, rod-shaped, and belongs to the Sinorhizobium-Ensifer branch of α-Proteobacteria. Growth and As[III] oxidation was enhanced significantly by the presence of yeast extract (0.005%) in minimal salt medium containing 5 mM As[III]; decreasing the doubling time from 9.8 to 2.1 h and increasing the As[III] oxidation rate from 0.014 to 0.349 pmol As[III] oxidized cell-1 h-1. As[III] oxidation nearly stopped at pH around 4 and should be performed at pH 7~8 to be most effective. SDB1 was immobilized in calcium-alginate beads and the oxidation capacity was investigated. Specific As[III] oxidation rates obtained with SDB1 (10.1~33.7 mM As[III] oxidized g-1 dry cell h-1) were 10~16-times higher than those reported previously with a heterotrophic bacterial strain (Simeonova et al., 2005). The stability and reusability of immobilized SDB1 strongly suggested that the immobilized SDB1 cell system can make the As[III] oxidation process technically and economically feasible in practical applications.
