General Information: This organism has been isolated from abscesses however its pathogenicity is unknown. Corynybacterium kroppenstedtii DSM 44385 was isolated from sputum of an 82-year-old female with pulmonary disease. Corynybacterium without mycolic acid in the cell wall.
Subject: NC_009077:4810379 Mycobacterium sp. JLS, complete genome
Lineage: Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium; Mycobacteriaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from creosote-contaminated soil from the Champion International Superfund site in Libby, Montana, USA. This microbe, along with some others collected at this site, is able to rapidly mineralize 14C-labeled pyrene. Phylogenetic studies based on the rRNA 16S gene confirmed that strains collected at this site were distinct from one another and also from other known Mycobacterium isolates.
