| Bacterial communities in urban aerosols collected with wetted-wall cyclonic samplers and seasonal fluctuations of live and culturable airborne bacteria. | Airborne transmission of bacterial pathogens from point sources (e.g., ranches, dairy waste treatment facilities) to areas of food production (farms) has been suspected. Determining the incidence, transport and viability of extremely low levels of pathogens require collection of high volumes of air and characterization of live bacteria from aerosols. We monitored the numbers of culturable bacteria in urban aerosols on 21 separate days during a 9 month period using high volume cyclonic samplers a ... | 2011 | 22193549 |
| Biogeography of symbiotic and other endophytic bacteria isolated from medicinal Glycyrrhiza species in China. | A total of 159 endophytic bacteria were isolated from surface-sterilized root nodules of wild perennial Glycyrrhiza legumes growing on 40 sites in central and northwestern China. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) genomic fingerprinting and sequencing of partial 16S rRNA genes revealed that the collection mainly consisted of Mesorhizobium, Rhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Agrobacterium and Paenibacillus species. Based on symbiotic properties with the legume hosts Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Gl ... | 2011 | 22066910 |

| the auxin-signaling pathway is required for the lateral root response of arabidopsis to the rhizobacterium phyllobacterium brassicacearum. | plant root development is highly responsive both to changes in nitrate availability and beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere. we previously showed that phyllobacterium brassicacearum stm196, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria strain isolated from rapeseed roots, alleviates the inhibition exerted by high nitrate supply on lateral root growth. since soil-borne bacteria can produce iaa and since this plant hormone may be implicated in the high nitrate-dependent control of lateral root d ... | 2010 | 20844890 |
| phaseolus vulgaris seed-borne endophytic community with novel bacterial species such as rhizobium endophyticum sp. nov. | the bacterial endophytic community present in different phaseolus vulgaris (bean) cultivars was analyzed by 16s ribosomal rna gene sequences of cultured isolates derived from surface disinfected roots and immature seeds. isolated endophytes from tissue-macerates belonged to over 50 species in 24 different genera and some isolates from acinetobacter, bacillus, enterococcus, nocardioides, paracoccus, phyllobacterium, and sphingomonas seem to correspond to new lineages. phytate solubilizing bacteri ... | 2010 | 20822874 |

| nitrogen-fixing nodules from rose wood legume trees (dalbergia spp.) endemic to madagascar host seven different genera belonging to alpha- and beta-proteobacteria. | although legume biodiversity is concentrated in tropical regions, the majority of studies on legume nodulating bacteria (lnb) are focused on cultivated leguminous plants from temperate regions. however, recent works on tropical regions tend to indicate that the actual diversity of lnb is largely underestimated. in this study, we report the isolation and characterization of 68 nitrogen-fixing root nodule bacteria collected from eight endemic tree species of dalbergia in madagascar. the isolates w ... | 2005 | 16262864 |
| phyllobacterium trifolii sp. nov., nodulating trifolium and lupinus in spanish soils. | bacterial strain petp02(t) was isolated from nodules of trifolium pratense growing in a spanish soil. phylogenetic analysis of the 16s rrna gene sequence showed that this strain represents a member of the genus phyllobacterium. however, divergence found with the 16s rrna gene sequence of the single recognized species of this genus, phyllobacterium myrsinacearum, indicated that strain petp02(t) belongs to a different species. the results of dna-dna hybridization, phenotypic tests and fatty acid a ... | 2005 | 16166699 |
| nitrate-dependent control of root architecture and n nutrition are altered by a plant growth-promoting phyllobacterium sp. | both root architecture and plant n nutrition are altered by inoculation with the plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) phyllobacterium strain stm196. it is known that no3- and n metabolites can act as regulatory signals on root development and n transporters. in this study, we investigate the possible interrelated effects on root development and n transport. we show that the inhibition of arabidopsis lateral root growth by high external no3- is overridden by phyllobacterium inoculation. ho ... | 2006 | 16160849 |

| phylogenies of atpd and reca support the small subunit rrna-based classification of rhizobia. | the current classification of the rhizobia (root-nodule symbionts) assigns them to six genera. it is strongly influenced by the small subunit (16s, ssu) rrna molecular phylogeny, but such single-gene phylogenies may not reflect the evolution of the genome as a whole. to test this, parts of the atpd and reca genes have been sequenced for 25 type strains within the alpha-proteobacteria, representing species in rhizobium, sinorhizobium, mesorhizobium, bradyrhizobium, azorhizobium, agrobacterium, ph ... | 2001 | 11760945 |

| an alternative interpretation of nanobacteria-induced biomineralization. | the reported isolation of nanobacteria from human kidney stones raises the intriguing possibility that these microorganisms are etiological agents of pathological extraskeletal calcification [kajander, e. o. & ciftçioglu, n. (1998) proc. natl. acad. sci. usa 95, 8274-8279]. nanobacteria were previously isolated from fbs after prolonged incubation in dmem. these bacteria initiated biomineralization of the culture medium and were identified in calcified particles and biofilms by nucleic acid stain ... | 2000 | 11027350 |
| changes in the metabolism of the microalga chlorella vulgaris when coimmobilized in alginate with the nitrogen-fixing phyllobacterium myrsinacearum. | in an agroindustrial wastewater pond, a naturally occurring unicellular microalga, chlorella vulgaris, was closely associated with the terrestrial plant-associative n2-fixing bacterium phyllobacterium myrsinacearum. when the two microorganisms were artificially coimmobilized in alginate beads, they shared the same internal bead cavities, and the production of five microalgal pigments increased, but there were no effects on the number of the cells or the biomass of the microalga. the association, ... | 2000 | 10932359 |
| brucella outer membrane lipoproteins share antigenic determinants with bacteria of the family rhizobiaceae. | brucellae have been reported to be phylogenetically related to bacteria of the family rhizobiaceae. in the present study, we used a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mabs) to brucella outer membrane proteins (omps) to determine the presence of common omp epitopes in some representative bacteria of this family, i.e., ochrobactrum anthropi, phyllobacterium rubiacearum, rhizobium leguminosarum, and agrobacterium tumefaciens, and also in bacteria reported to serologically cross-react with brucella, i. ... | 1999 | 10391877 |
