Biodegradation of RDX in Rhodococcus spp.
… been isolated from RDX polluted sites including Rhodococcus rhodochrous 11Y. The RDX degrading genes, xplA and xplB encoding a novel flavodoxin fused cytochrome P450 and its reductase partner respectively, were first identified in R. rhodochrous 11Y. This unusual P450 system has now been found in …

Analysis of the maturation of Rhodococcus equi-containing vacuoles in macrophages
Rhodococcus equi is a Gram-positive intracellular pathogen which can cause severe bronchopneumonia in foals. In recent years, the role of this bacterium as human pathogen has been noted, as R.equi infections in humans have increase in frequency. This increase is associated with the rise in …

Functional characterisation of alkane-degrading monooxygenases in Rhodococcus jostii strain 8
… atmosphere. A number of studies have shown that Rhodococcus species possess the ability to metabolite a wide range of hydrocarbons since they contain multiple hydrocarbon-degrading enzymes such as soluble diiron monooxygenases (SDIMOs) and alkB-type alkane monooxygenases. This study aimed to …

Isolation of a Rhodococcus Soil Bacterium that Produces a Strong Antibacterial Compound.
… xenobiotic compounds. Recently, interest in <em>Rhodococcus</em> has increased due to the discovery of a large number of genes for secondary metabolism. Only a few secondary metabolites have been characterized from the rhodococci (including 3 recently described antibiotics). Twenty-four new …

Characterization of pigment production by Escherichia Coli containing a cloned Rhodococcus gene
The screening of a Rhodococcus gene bank in Escherichia coli lead to the discovery of a pigment-producing clone. Initial studies revealed a blue component and a pink component in bacterial pigment preparations and suggested that they were different from the prodigiosins and actinorhodins produced …

Aromatic hydrocarbon metabolism by Rhodococcus sp. I24 : computational, biochemical and transcriptional analysis
Rhodococcus sp. 124 is a Gram-positive soil bacterium being developed for the manufacture of (-)cis-(1S,2R)-1-aminoindan-2-ol, a key precursor in the production of the HIV-1 protease inhibitor CrixivanTM, from the aromatic hydrocarbon indene. Rhodococcus sp. 124 was grown by batch fermentation in …

INSIGHTS INTO THE METAL HANDLING MECHANISMS OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE-BINDING BACTERIA RHODOCOCCUS RUBER
… its specific target site, including antibiotics. Rhodococcus ruber is a siderophore-producing marine organism, isolated first due to its high affinity for metal oxides, particularly titanium dioxide. R. ruber GIN.1 and DSM 43338 strains were grown under laboratory conditions and a growth media …

Influence of Rhodococcus Equi on the Respiratory Burst of Resident Alveolar Macrophages From Horses
Rhodococcus equi is the etiologic agent of a devastating pneumonia of sporadic incidence in foals. Opsonized Rhodococcus equi are phagocytosed by equine alveolar macrophages but are ineffectively killed. The respiratory burst of equine neutrophils is obtunded by R. equi. If the bacteria similarly …

Genetic characterization of Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC BAA-870 with emphasis on nitrile hydrolysing enzymes
Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC BAA-870 (BAA-870) had previously been isolated on selective media for enrichment of nitrile hydrolysing bacteria. The organism was found to have a wide substrate range, with activity against aliphatics, aromatics, and aryl aliphatics, and enantioselectivity towards beta …

Process design and modeling for the production of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in Rhodococcus opacus PD630
The oleaginous microorganism Rhodococcus opacus PD630 was used to study the characteristics and kinetics of the accumulation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in cells. In this process, accumulation of TAG is stimulated when a carbon source is present in the medium in excess and the nitrogen source is …

Purification and quantitative description of Rhodococcus equi IgG designed for aerosol nebulization to foals
… IgG from commercially available hyperimmune Rhodococcus equi plasma and to assess the delivery of IgG as an aerosol to the equine lung. IgG was purified from plasma, and the IgG concentration of both the plasma and the purified IgG was determined by ELISA. The purified IgG was aerosolized …

The structure of the nitrilase from Rhodococcus Rhodochrous J1: homology modeling and three-dimensional reconstruction
The nitrilases are an important class of industrial enzymes that are found in all phyla. These enzymes are expressed widely in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Nitrilases convert nitriles to corresponding acids and ammonia. They are used in industry as biocatalysts because of their specificity and …
