By screening a bacterial population from the soil in Tokyo, Japan, we isolated a boron-tolerant bacterium, strain BTM4c. Strain BTM4c grew under the boron excess conditions with 100 mM boric acid, which is generally toxic to bacteria. Molecular phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, and physiological data showed that the strain belongs to the genus Rhodococcus, and is to be identified as Rhodococcus baikonurensis.
通过对日本东京土壤中的细菌群体进行筛选,我们分离出了一株耐硼细菌,菌株BTM4c。菌株BTM4c能在含有100 mM硼酸的硼过量条件下生长,而硼酸通常对细菌有毒。分子系统发育、化学分类和生理数据表明,该菌株属于红球菌属,有待鉴定为拜科努尔红球菌。
