| Description |
Gordonia terrea IIPN1 was isolated and
characterized from soils collected at petroleum drilling
sites. The strain was able to catabolize pyridine
and 4-methylpyridine as sole carbon and nitrogen
source. The strain failed to catabolize other pyridine
derivatives. Growing cells completely degraded
30 mM of pyridine in 120 h with growth yield of
0.29 g g–1. Resting Cells grown on 5 mM pyridine
degraded 4-methylpyridine without a lag time and
vice versa. Supplementary carbon and nitrogen
source did not significantly change the specific
growth rate and degradation rate by the resting cells.
