Isolation of fucosyltransferase-producing bacteria from marine environments.

abstract：:The Gram-negative marine propylene-assimilating bacterium, strain PE-TB08W, was isolated from surface seawater. A structural gene analysis using the 16S rRNA gene showed 96, 94, and 95% similarities to Halioglobus species, Haliea sp. ETY-M, and Haliea sp. ETY-NAG, respectively. A phylogenetic tree analysis showed that...
