To tackle the challenge of byproduct toxicity, researchers from Nanjing Tech University, China, carried out a study focusing on the potential of two microbial strains—Rhodococcus aetherivorans ...

Rhodococcus equi is an intracellular gram-positive coccobacillus that belongs to the family Nocardioform, orders Actinomycetes.

The bacterium Rhodococcus ruber eats and actually digests plastic. This has been shown in laboratory experiments by PhD student Maaike Goudriaan at Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ).

Rhodococcus equi bacteria can cause a lethal form of equine pneumonia in foals. Despite the seriousness of the disease (known as ‘rattles’), until now there was no vaccine available.

A new quinoline antibiotic, aurachin RE, was isolated and identified from a culture broth of Rhodococcus erythropolis JCM 6824. The aurachin RE structure was determined based on NMR and mass ...

Tim’s group has also pioneered the metabolic engineering of bacterial lignin degraders such as Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 to produce high-value chemicals such as vanillin (in 2013), pyridine-dicarboxylic ...

Researchers from China have achieved a breakthrough in biofuel production with the development of Rhodococcus aetherivorans strain N1, a new species, and its enhanced variant, N1-S. The study ...
