Description of a novel actinobacterium Microbacterium assamensis sp. nov., isolated from water sample collected from the river Brahmaputra, Assam, India.

abstract：:We present a novel light-dependent metabolism of an aromatic compound (trans-cinnamate) that is assimilatory rather than dissimilatory. Light-dependent assimilation of trans-cinnamate was observed by both growing and resting cells of Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU5. Trans-cinnamate assimilation could be correlated with si...
