The taxonomic position of a novel bacterial strain, YC6269(T), isolated from the rhizosphere of rice (Oryza sativa L.) managed under no-tillage practice in Jinju, South Korea, was studied using polyphasic approach. Cells of the strain were Gram-negative, rod-shaped and facultatively anaerobic. The

A Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, creamy-white actinobacterium, which has an elementary branching rod-coccus life cycle was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of rice (Oryza sativa L.) collected from Northeast Agricultural University in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, north-east PR China, and

A bacterial strain designated YC6842T, isolated from the rhizosphere of rice (Oryza sativa L.) managed under no-tillage practice in Jinju, Korea, was characterized using polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells of the strain were Gram-negatively stained, aerobic, rod-shaped and motile by multiple polar

The taxonomic position of a novel bacterial strain, YC6267(T) isolated from a field of rice (Oryza sativa L.) managed under a no-tillage regime in Jinju, Korea, was studied using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and aerobic. It grew at 15-37

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, pale orange, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterial strain, designated JC289T was isolated from a rhizosphere soil sample of the plant Oryza sativa (L.). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis clearly allocated strain JC289T to the Flectobacillus cluster, showing highest sequence

Recombinant phytoene desaturase (PDS-His6) from rice was purified to near-homogeneity and shown to be enzymatically active in a biphasic, liposome-based assay system. The protein contains FAD as the sole protein-bound redox-cofactor. Benzoquinones, not replaceable by molecular oxygen, serve as a

Two Gram-reaction-negative, yellow-orange-pigmented, rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated YC6722(T) and YC6723(T), were isolated from rhizosphere soil samples collected from rice fields in Jinju, Korea. Strains YC6722(T) and YC6723(T) grew optimally at 25-30 °C and at pH 7.0-8.5. Phylogenetic

The aims of this study were to examine the effect of Pb(2+) stress on the primary reaction of photosynthesis and to assess the potential benefits of endophytic infection on the Pb(2+) tolerance of rice seedlings. Rice inoculated with an endophytic fungus (E+) and non-inoculated (E-) were subjected

The taxonomic position of the free-living diazotrophic strain COC8(T) isolated from rice was investigated based on phylogenetic analyses. 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses indicated that strain COC8(T) was closely related to the genus Azospirillum (96% similarity). Chemotaxonomic characteristics (G+C

Five strains of free-living diazotrophs isolated from rice were characterized by using a polyphasic approach. The strains were found to be very closely related, with 99-100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and DNA-DNA hybridization values greater than 70 %, suggesting that they represent a single

Cadmium (Cd) pollution is a worldwide concern due to its biotoxicity. Because Cd and Fe are closely associated during plant photosynthesis, this study aims at investigating the mechanism governing Cd toxicity during photosynthetic primary reaction in rice by adjusting Fe concentration. The results

A Gram-stain-negative, coccobacilli-shaped bacterium, designated YC6724T, was isolated from the rhizosphere of rice in Jinju, Korea. The taxonomy of strain YC6724T was studied using a polyphasic approach. Strain YC6724T grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 7.0-8.0. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence

A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming bacterium, designated strain TD8^T, was isolated from surface-sterilized rice seeds (Oryza sativa L.). Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that strain TD8^T should be placed within the genus

A Gram-negative-staining, non-spore-forming bacterium devoid of flagella, designated strain B9(T), was isolated from rice paddy soil associated with the roots of Oryza sativa collected from Jinju, South Korea. Cells were straight rods, were catalase- and oxidase-positive and were able to hydrolyse

Phytoene desaturase (PDS) is an essential plant carotenoid biosynthetic enzyme and a prominent target of certain inhibitors, such as norflurazon, acting as bleaching herbicides. PDS catalyzes the introduction of two double bonds into 15-cis-phytoene, yielding 9,15,9'-tri-cis-ζ-carotene via the
