isolation of desulfovibrio intestinalis sp. nov. from the hindgut' of the lower termite mastotermes darwiniensis.	a gram-negative, anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacterium was isolated from hindgut contents of the lower termite mastotermes darwiniensis froggatt (strain kms2). strain kms2 is motile by a single polar flagellum. the isolate possesses desulfoviridin and catalase activity. the g+c content of its dna is in the range of 54.5-55.5 mol% (strain kms2). it respires hydrogen and different low molecular weight organic compounds in the presence of sulfate, thiosulfate, and sulfite, and also oxygen. the isola ...	1999	10380647
in vitro and in vivo sulfate reduction in the gut contents of the termite mastotermes darwiniensis and the rose-chafer pachnoda marginata.	sulfate-reducing bacteria (srb) from termites have been assigned to the genus desulfovibrio. desulfovibrio intestinalis lives in the gut of the australian termite mastotermes darwiniensis. for the first time we were able to enrich and identify a sulfate-reducing bacterium from the gut of the rose-chafer pachnoda marginata, which showed the highest 16s rdna sequence identity (93%) to desulfovibrio intestinalis and desulfovibrio strain stl1. compared to mastotermes darwiniensis (1x10(7) cells of s ...	2005	15942866
first isolation of desulfovibrio from the human vaginal flora.	four desulfovibrio species, including 2 subtypes of 1 species, namely, desulfovibrio piger, desulfovibrio desulfuricans mb subtype and essex 6 subtype, desulfovibrio fairfieldensis, and desulfovibrio vulgaris, have been isolated from the human oral and intestinal flora, but not previously from the vaginal flora. they are opportunistic pathogens and have been considered as possible environmental and etiologic agents involved in ulcerative colitis and chronic periodontitis. we isolated desulfovibr ...	2010	20159048
occurrence and activity of sulphate reducing bacteria in aerobic activated sludge systems.	in the sewage or wastewater treatment plant, biological sulphate reduction can occur spontaneously or be applied beneficially for its treatment. the results of this study can be applied to control srb in the sewage and wwtp. therefore, population diversity analyses of srb for nine activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (wwtp) in the netherlands and the effect of long-term (months) oxygen exposures on the srb activity were carried out. t-rflp and clone sequencing analyses of winter and summ ...	2015	25649202
