ABSTRACT Thirty-nine morphologically different soil bacteria capable of degrading poly(β-hydroxyalkanoate), poly(ɛ-caprolactone), poly(hexamethylene carbonate), or poly(tetramethylene succinate) were isolated. Their phylogenetic positions were determined by 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing, and all of them fell into the classesFirmicutes and Proteobacteria. Determinations of substrate utilization revealed characteristic patterns of substrate specificities.

16S Ribosomal Dna

Caulobacterspecies have been rarely found to be a cause of human infection. A case of probableCaulobacterspecies meningitis occurring postneurosurgery in a pediatric patient is reported in the present article. Gram stain and colony morphology of the isolate were not consistent with the identification provided by commercial phenotypic identification systems. The present case illustrates the need to reconcile conflicting phenotypic test results using 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing.

Catheter Tip

Lodderomyces elongisporusis phenotypically closely related toCandida parapsilosisand has recently been identified as an infrequent cause of bloodstream infections in patients from Asia and Mexico. We report here the isolation ofLodderomyces elongisporusfrom the catheter of a suspected case of fungemia. The identity of the isolate was confirmed by phenotypic characteristics and ribosomal DNA sequencing.
