PARACOCCUS SOLVENTIVORANS
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Paracoccus |
| Species: | Paracoccus solventivorans |
| Description: | Paracoccus solventivorans,a New Gram-Negative, Acetone-Degrading, Nitrate-Reducing Bacterium from Soil.An acetone-degrading, nitrate-reducing, coccoid to rod-shaped bacterium, strain L1, was isolated from soil on the site of a natural gas company. Cells of the logarithmic growth phase reacted gram positive, while those of the stationary growth phase were gram negative. Single organisms were 0.4 to 0.5 by 0.9 to 1.5 μm in size, nonmotile, and non-spore forming and had poly-β-hydroxybutyrate inclusions. The doubling time of strain L1 on acetone-CO2-nitrate at the optimal pH of 7 to 8 and the optimal temperature of 30 to 37°C was 12 h. |
