Abstract
Bacterial isolates were obtained from two sites in New Zealand contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Isolates capable of degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were characterized in two mycobacterial groups according to phenotypic properties. These groups were supported by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. Nucleotide sequences of 16S ribosomal RNA genes from isolates representing each group were determined and compared with other mycobacterial 16S ribosomal RNA sequences. The taxonomic relationships of these isolates are considered.Entities:
