A Gram-positive unicellular coccal-diphtheroid rod causing foam in an activated sludge plant was successfully isolated by micromanipulation. Phenotypic characterization and 16S rDNA sequencing identified it as Nocardia farcinica. This is the first report that this opportunistic pathogen is a foam-causing bacterium in activated sludge, and the clinical implications of these observations are discussed.
通过显微操作成功分离出一株在活性污泥处理厂中导致泡沫产生的革兰氏阳性单细胞球菌样双岐杆菌。表型特征和16S rDNA测序鉴定其为嗜皮诺卡氏菌。这是关于这种机会致病菌作为活性污泥中引起泡沫的细菌的首次报道,并讨论了这些观察结果的临床意义。
