title: Carbon monoxide utilization of an extremely oligotrophic bacterium, Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4.
abstract: CO utilization by a CO(2)-requiring extremely oligotrophic bacterium, Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4 was found when CO(2) was removed from the culture environment before cultivation, suggesting that this bacterium can convert CO into CO(2). However, the gene encoding putative CO dehydrogenase large subunit in N9T-4 was not induced by CO.
