<- 1979, I.B. Ivshina <- O.A. Nesterenko <- M. Tsukamura, M-1. Type strain. Taxonomy/description: 16S rRNA gene (X80625); genome sequence (BCXE00000000, LRRL00000000) (3, 5, 7, 8, 13, 24, 31, 34, 35, 55, 60, 70, 72, 80, 81, 88, 95, 102, 112, 149, 160, 228, 231, 232, 238, 243). Properties: uses aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives (benzoate, gentisate, 3-hydroxybenzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, phenol, protocatechuate) as a sole carbon source; degrades 4-methoxybenzoate, vanillate and phthalate (91); resistant to Pb²⁺ (5.0 mM). (Medium 2 or 8, 28^oC).
