paracoccus marcusii sp. nov., an orange gram-negative coccus.	phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and 16s rdna sequence analysis of an orange gram-negative coccus that appeared as a contaminant on a nutrient agar plate delineated a new species of the genus paracoccus. phenotypic features of the strain that differ from all or most of the previously described paracoccus species include its bright orange colour, caused by the synthesis of large amounts of carotenoids (mainly astaxanthin), and its inability to use nitrate as an electron acceptor in respiration. the nam ...	1998	9731296
presence of bacterial 16s ribosomal rna gene segments in human intestinal lymph follicles.	there is currently no information regarding microbial agents inside the intestinal lymph follicles.	2000	10994621
paracoccus seriniphilus sp. nov., an l-serine-dehydratase-producing coccus isolated from the marine bryozoan bugula plumosa.	a novel marine gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, aerobic bacterium, associated with the bryozoan bugula plumosa, was isolated in a screening programme for strains containing enzymes able to convert the amino acid l-serine. strain mbt-a4t produced l-serine dehydratase and was able to grow on l-serine as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. the nearest phylogenetic neighbour was paracoccus marcusii, as determined by 16s rdna sequence analysis (97.8% similarity). the dna-dna reassociati ...	2003	12710610
identification of a mosaic transposable element of paracoccus marcusii composed of insertion sequence ispmar4 (isas1 family) and an is1247a-driven transposable module (tmo).	a sacb-based trap plasmid was used to clone a mosaic transposable element (te) in the carotenoid producer paracoccus marcusii os22. this element is composed of an insertion sequence (is) ispmar4 (isas1 family), which contains an inserted functional transposable module (tmo) generated by a copy of is1247a (of the is1380 family). besides is1247a sequences, the tmo also contains the 3'-end region of a putative alpha/beta hydrolase gene, whose expression might be activated from the p(2) promoter of ...	2009	19187199
paracoccus aestuarii sp. nov., isolated from tidal flat sediment.	a gram-negative micro-organism, designated strain b7(t), was isolated from tidal flat sediment and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study involving morphological, physiological, biochemical and 16s rrna gene sequence analyses. a phylogenetic analysis based on the 16s rrna gene sequence indicated that strain b7(t) belonged to the genus paracoccus and was closely related phylogenetically to paracoccus marcusii mh1(t) (97.5 % sequence similarity), paracoccus marinus kkl-a5(t) (97.5 %), paracoccu ...	2009	19329608
effects of dietary bacillus cereus g19, b. cereus bc-01, and paracoccus marcusii db11 supplementation on the growth, immune response, and expression of immune-related genes in coelomocytes and intestine of the sea cucumber (apostichopus japonicus selenka).	probiotics have positive effects on the nutrient digestibility and absorption, immune responses, and growth of aquatic animals, including the sea cucumber (apostichopus japonicus selenka). a 60-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of bacillus cereus g19, b. cereus bc-01 and paracoccus marcusii db11 supplementation on the growth, immune response, and expression level of four immune-related genes (aj-p105, aj-p50, aj-rel, and aj-lys) in coelomocytes and the intestine of juvenile ...	2015	26052012
complete genome sequence of paracoccus marcusii phage vb_pmas-r3 isolated from the south china sea.	paracoccus spp. are isolated from both terrestrial and aquatic habitats, indicating their ubiquitous existence in the environment. here we present the first phage isolated from this genus, vb_pmas-r3, and its complete genome sequence. paracoccus phage vb_pmas-r3 is a siphophage isolated from the south china sea. the genome sequence is 42,093 bp, with a g + c content of 56.36 %. fifty-two open reading frames were predicted from the genome. the genome can mainly be divided into three regions: gene ...	2015	26561517
biosurfactant production from marine hydrocarbon-degrading consortia and pure bacterial strains using crude oil as carbon source.	biosurfactants (bss) are "green" amphiphilic molecules produced by microorganisms during biodegradation, increasing the bioavailability of organic pollutants. in this work, the bs production yield of marine hydrocarbon degraders isolated from elefsina bay in eastern mediterranean sea has been investigated. the drop collapse test was used as a preliminary screening test to confirm bs producing strains or mixed consortia. the community structure of the best consortia based on the drop collapse tes ...	2015	25904907
draft genome sequence of a denitrifying bacterium paracoccus marcusii pamc 22219 isolated from arctic marine sediment.	a denitrifying bacterium, paracoccus marcusii pamc 22219, was isolated from arctic marine sediment in svalbard, norway. the obtained contigs were 265 with genome size of 4.0mb and g+c content of 66.1%. this bacterial genome revealed that it had nitrate and nitrite ammonification genes involved in the denitrification process, suggesting that p. marcusii pamc 22219 is a denitrifying bacterium. this is the first genome that has been sequenced in the genus paracoccus, isolated from an arctic environ ...	2015	25637653
