A strain of Gordonia sp. (strain Lc), from landfill leachate-contaminated groundwater was characterized by polyphasic taxonomy and studied for exopolysaccharide (EPS) production. The cells were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and non-motile. The organism grew both aerobically and,...
