Microbacterium

Normally amino add synthesis will just satisfy the metabolic demand. In some cases, when the amino add occurs in both biosynthetic and energy production pathways, overproduction of the amino add can take place. This is the case, espedally for L-glutamic add, with Corynebacterium, Brevibacterium, Microbacterium and Arthrobacter.

Rather than using expensive and possibly toxic chemicals, certain bacteria and other microorganisms have the ability to oxidize As(III) in water, wastes, soils, and sediments (Ehrlich, 2002 Santini, Vanden Hoven and Macy, 2002 Anderson et al., 2002). Microbacterium lacticum (Mokashi and Paknikar, 2002) and Alcaligenes faecalis (Anderson et al., 2002) are examples of bacteria that are known to oxidize As(III). Some bacteria use As(III) as a source of energy, whereas others simply oxidize it as a means of detoxifying their environments (Ehrlich, 2002, 313). 

Further to these results, the microbicidal activities of FIBCIDE-KF and KATHON WT were evaluated. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, Bacillus subtilis and Microbacterium sp. are identical for both compounds, so the microbicidal effect has not diminished (Figure 10). It appears that the biocidal effects are similar because the Cl-MIT in the inclusion complex is released into water, as shown in Figure 6.

A main component of the linear ferrioxamine group (63). Reverses inhibition by ferrimycin antibiotics (148) and acts as a growth factor for Microbacterium lacticum (101). From Streptomyces pilosus (8). Also produced by species of Nocardia and Micromonospora, and by a number of species of Streptomyces (148). 

The strains used are either wild types or mutants. Wild types from the genera Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium and Microbacterium are mostly employed in glutamic acid and alanine production 48). The yields, depending on the carbon source and bacterial species, are between 10-80%. Other amino acids are also accumulated in wild types however, yields are lower.
