Rhodococcus ruber (Kruse 1896) Goodfellow and Alderson 1977

IEGM 231

Coidentity: VKPM AC-1899

<- 1988, I.B. Ivshina, OEGM 29-1B-1. Isolated from: water, spring, Olkhovski oil-extracting enterprise, Perm region, Russia. Taxonomy/description: shows positive result with Rhodococcus ruber primers in species-specific PCR (245); 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis (GenBank accession number KF155234); whole genome was sequenced and deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under accession numbers CCSD01000001 to CCSD01000115 (343); (55, 95, 97). Properties: uses n-dodecane, n-hexadecane, propane and n-butane as a sole carbon source (28, 95, 327, 424); produces biosurfactants when growing on n-alkanes (C₁₂-C₁₇) (74, 248, 254, 327, 347, 348, 428); degrades high-porous ceramic materials (237); degrades paracetamol (265) and sodium diclofenac (29, 410, 425); forms cholesterol oxidase; resistant to Mo⁶⁺ (5.0 mM), VO²⁺ (25.0 mM), VO₄^3- (100.0 mM), VO₃^- (>250.0 mM), accumulates molybdenum and nickel (286, 329, 423); adheres to liquid hydrocarbons (317, 320, 422); bioremediation agent for oil-contaminated soil (28, 324); resistant to 1-butanol, ethanol (341, 349); produces glycolipid biosurfactant with immunomodulating properties (344, 415). The dependence of the decrease in phytotoxicity of molybdenum after treatment Rhodococcus-biosurfactants seeds was revealed (36). (Medium 2, 5, 8 or 11, 28^oC).
