numerical taxonomy of actinomadura and related actinomycetes.	one hundred and fifty-six actinomadura strains, marker strains of related taxa, and related isolates from bagasse and fodder were the subject of numerical phenetic analyses using 90 unit characters. the data were examined using the simple matching (ssm), jaccard (sj) and pattern (dp) coefficients and clustering was achieved using both single and average linkage algorithms. cluster composition was not markedly affected either by the coefficient or clustering algorithms used or by test error, esti ...	1979	479835
molecular-genetic and chemotaxonomic studies on actinomadura and nocardiopsis.	the relationships of 24 strains of 13 species of actinomadura and 4 strains of nocardiopsis dassonvillei were determined by nucleic acid hybridization studies. dna-rrna cistron similarity and dna homology values reveal that actinomadura is genetically heterogeneous. one cluster contained the type species actinomadura madurae, actinomadura pelletieri, actinomadura verrucosospora, actinomadura malachitica, actinomadura citrea and 'actinomadura kijaniata'. a second cluster embraced actinomadura pus ...	1983	6198437
antifungal antibiotic benanomicin a increases susceptibility of candida albicans to phagocytosis by murine macrophages.	benanomicin a is an antifungal antibiotic produced by actinomadura spadix. in the present study, we investigated the effect of benanomicin a on the phagocytosis of candida albicans by murine peritoneal macrophages and on the cell-surface hydrophobicity (csh) of c. albicans. although pretreatment of macrophages with benanomicin a had no effect on the phagocytosis, addition of benanomicin a to the culture of macrophages and candida cells increased the susceptibility of candida cells to the phagocy ...	1996	9031667
transfer of actinomadura spadix nonomura and ohara 1971 to actinoallomurus spadix gen. nov., comb. nov., and description of actinoallomurus amamiensis sp. nov., actinoallomurus caesius sp. nov., actinoallomurus coprocola sp. nov., actinoallomurus fulvus sp. nov., actinoallomurus iriomotensis sp. nov., actinoallomurus luridus sp. nov., actinoallomurus purpureus sp. nov. and actinoallomurus yoronensis sp. nov.	ten actinomycete strains that form chains of spiral or looped spores were isolated from soil and dung samples in japan. they contained d- and l-lysine, meso-diaminopimelic acid (a2pm), d-glutamic acid and d- and l-alanine in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, madurose as a characteristic whole-cell sugar, mk-9(h6) and mk-9(h8) as the major isoprenoid quinones and iso-c16:0 as the major cellular fatty acid and showed genomic dna g+c contents of 69-74 mol%. phylogenetic analyses based on 16s rrna gene s ...	2009	19567582
actinoallomurus acanthiterrae sp. nov., an actinomycete isolated from rhizosphere soil of the mangrove plant acanthus ilicifolius.	a novel actinobacterium strain, 2614a723(t), was isolated from rhizosphere soil of mangrove plant acanthus ilicifolius collected at touyuan, wenchang, hainan province, china. a phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences indicated that strain 2614a723(t) formed a distinct phyletic line in the genus actinoallomurus, the 16s rrna gene tree sharing similarities of 98.35%, 98.07% and 97.86% with actinoallomurus spadix nbrc 14099(t), actinoallomurus purpureus ttn02-30(t) and actinoallomuru ...	2013	23002049
microbicidal and anti-inflammatory effects of actinomadura spadix (eha-2) active metabolites from himalayan soils, india.	actinomycetes play an essential role in producing several bioactive compounds. in the present study, microbicidal and anti-inflammatory effects of metabolites from actinomycetes were investigated. actinomycetes were isolated from north eastern himalayan soil samples, india. the actinomycetes were investigated for their microbicidal property by conventional method and the active actinomycetes were identified by 16s rdna sequence analyses. further the metabolites were extracted and fractionated to ...	2014	23821127
