Bacteria in the deionised water samples formed colonies on agar plates containing [1,2-14^C] sodium acetate, and the autoradiograms showed that all the colonies were positive for 14^C utilisation. Then one of the acetate-utilising bacteria was isolated. The isolate was characterised by phylogenetic analysis, cell morphology, Gram staining and growth at 30 degree. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA sequencing showed that the isolate belonged to the genus Burkholderia. The bacterium was gram-negative rods and grew at 30 degree under aerobic conditions. Based on these characteristics, the isolate was identified as Burkholderia gladioli. Because B. gladioli is often found in soil, water and the rhizosphere, attention must be paid to the relationships between bacteria and the behaviour of 14^C to for the safety assessment of geological disposal of transuranic waste.}, pages = {151--154}, title = {Bacteria contributing to the behavior of radiocarbon in sodium acetate}, volume = {146}, year = {2011} }
