However, surface sediments still have concentrations above the pre-industrial values suggested by the Swedish EPA (Cd is 0.2, Zn is 85, and Pb is 31 mg kg-1 DW). The results also show that the pre-industrial Cd, Zn, and Pb concentrations obtained from 3 cores with ages less then 1500 B.C. were 1.8, 1.7, and 1.2 times higher, respectively, than the…[Read more]

The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain Y22T were C181ω7c (29.6%), C170 cyclo (17.5%) and summed feature 3 (C161ω7c and/or C161ω6c) (17.4%). The genomic DNA G+C content was 57.9 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic analyses and in silico DNA-DNA relatedness, a novel species, Pseudomonas laoshanensis sp. nov. is pr…[Read more]
