identification of coryneform bacterial isolates by ribosomal dna sequence analysis. | identification of coryneform bacteria to the species level is important in certain circumstances for differentiating contamination and/or colonization from infection, which influences decisions regarding clinical intervention. however, methods currently used in clinical microbiology laboratories for the species identification of coryneform bacteria are often inadequate. we evaluated the microseq 500 16s bacterial sequencing kit (perkin-elmer biosystems, foster city, calif.), which is designed to ... | 2000 | 10747168 |
high resistance to oxygen radicals and heat is caused by a galactoglycerolipid in microbacterium sp. m874. | microbacterium sp. m874 produced a glyceroglycolipid, di-o-12-methyl-tetradecanoyl-3-o-beta-d-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol, at about the 50 microm level. though the strain was highly resistant to tertiary-butyl hydroperoxide (tbhp) in a glycolipid-productive medium, the resistance was reduced in a nonproductive medium. exogenous addition of the glycolipid to the nonproductive culture restored the resistance. this addition also increased the resistance to heat, ethanol, and 4-chloro-1-naphthol, i ... | 2000 | 10788780 |
rescuing activity of galactoglycerolipids from cellular lesions induced by 5-aminolevulinic acid. | an anti-oxygen radical reagent of a bacterial metabolite, m874 monogalactoglycerolipid (di-o-12-methyl-tetradecanoyl-3-o-beta-d-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol ), was tested for its ability to protect two organisms against cellular lesions induced by 5-aminolevulinic acid (ala) and light. in corynebacterium flavescens atcc 10340, extracellular uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin were the main porphyrin products. although less than 2 mm ala increased porphyrin synthesis, ala levels above 3 mm inhibited ... | 2000 | 10788790 |
production and structure elucidation of glycoglycerolipids from a marine sponge-associated microbacterium species. | the bacterium microbacterium sp., isolated from the sponge halichondria panicea, produced four unusual cell-associated glycoglycerolipids and one diphosphatidylglycerol when grown on marine broth and on artificial seawater media. the lipids were isolated by chromatography on silica columns and their structures elucidated using a combination of multidimensional nmr and ms techniques. the main compound was 1-o-acyl-3-[alpha-glucopyranosyl-(1-3)-(6-o-acyl-alpha-mannopyranosyl )]glycerol (ggl.2) wit ... | 2000 | 10843572 |
comparison of colony lift with direct spotting methods of blot preparation on the effect of colony hybridization in the detection of environmental organisms. | nucleic acid probes are used on site to detect or to identify individual microbial cells without cultivation. this molecular technique can avoid some limitations of traditional identification methods including time consuming and imprecise. this study examined the factors affecting colony hybridization and compared the effectiveness of membrane prepared by colony lifting with direct spotting procedures using the universal probe eub 338. the results of hybridization varied depending on the type of ... | 2000 | 10917884 |
overexpression, purification, and characterization of bacillus subtilis n-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase cwlc. | n-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase cwlc of bacillus subtilis was overproduced in escherichia coli and purified 21-fold. the amidase hydrolyzed type a cell walls such as b. subtilis. the amidase bound slightly to the microbacterium lacticum cell wall (type b), but did not entirely hydrolyze it. the presence of calcium or magnesium ion increased the resistance of the amidase to heat denaturation. | 2000 | 10945275 |
microbial diversity during maturation and natural processing of coffee cherries of coffea arabica in brazil. | the magnitude and diversity of the microbial population associated with dry (natural) processing of coffee (coffea arabica) has been assessed during a 2-year period on 15 different farms in the sul de minas region of brazil. peptone water-washed samples were taken of maturing cherries on trees (cherries, raisins and dried cherries) and from ground fermentations. the microbial load varied from 3 x 10(4) to 2.2 x 10(9) cfu/cherry with a median value of 1.6 x 10(7) cfu/cherry. the microbial load in ... | 2000 | 11016614 |
identification of corynebacterium bovis and other coryneforms isolated from bovine mammary glands. | bovine mastitis remains the most economically important disease in dairy cows. corynebacterium bovis, a lipid-requiring corynebacterium spp., is frequently isolated from the milk of infected mammary glands of dairy cows and is associated with reduced milk production. a total of 212 coryneform bacteria isolated from the milk of dairy cows were obtained from mastitis reference laboratories in the united states and canada. all isolates had been presumptively identified as corynebacterium bovis base ... | 2000 | 11049082 |
a novel bacterial pathogen, microbacterium nematophilum, induces morphological change in the nematode c. elegans. | the dar (deformed anal region) phenotype, characterized by a distinctive swollen tail, was first detected in a variant strain of caenorhabditis elegans which appeared spontaneously in 1986 during routine genetic crosses [1,2]. dar isolates were initially analysed as morphological mutants, but we report here that two independent isolates carry an unusual bacterial infection different from those previously described [3], which is the cause of the dar phenotype. the infectious agent is a new specie ... | 2000 | 11137017 |
enumeration and characterization of cellulolytic bacteria from refuse of a landfill. | enumeration and phenotypic characterization of aerobic cellulolytic bacteria were performed on fresh, 1 year old and 5 years old refuse samples of a french landfill site. numbers of cellulolytic bacteria ranged from 1.1x10(6) to 2.3x10(8) c.f.u.
