Project description:Two synthetic bacterial consortia (SC) composed by bacterial strains isolated from a natural phenanthrene-degrading consortium (CON), Sphingobium sp. AM, Klebsiella aerogenes B, Pseudomonas sp. Bc-h and T, Burkholderia sp. Bk and Inquilinus limosus Inq were grown in LMM supplemented with 200 mg/L of phenanthrene (PHN) during 72 hours in triplicate.
Project description:We identified Inquilinus limosus, a recently described ?-proteobacterium, in sputum of 2 patients with cystic fibrosis whose respiratory tracts were persistently colonized for >9 months. We present data on the epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibility, and molecular characteristics of I. limosus.
