Rhodococcus, a metabolically flexible actinobacteria that's often present in the surroundings, has won expanding curiosity as a result of its power biotechnological purposes. This Microbiology Monographs quantity offers a radical evaluate of a number of the elements of the biochemistry, body structure and genetics of the Genus Rhodococcus. Following an summary of its taxonomy, chapters conceal the structural points of rhodococcal mobile envelope, genomes and plasmids, metabolic and catabolic pathways, reminiscent of these of fragrant compounds, steroids and nitriles, and desulfurization pathways, in addition to the adaption to natural solvents. extra stories speak about functions of Rhodococcus within the bioremediation of infected environments, in triacylglycerol accumulation, and in phytopathogenic suggestions, in addition to the potential for biosurfactants. a last bankruptcy describes the only real pathogenic Rhodococcus member, R. equi.
