production of bacteriocin-like agents of budvicia aquatica and "pragia fontium".	in cultures of 9 budvicia aquatica and 5 "pragia fontium" strains production of distinct bacteriocin-like agents was proved. it is suggested to call them aquaticins and fonticins. they display strain specific antibacterial activities towards both genera; however, they are not active towards escherichia coli or shigella sonnei indicators. their inhibition zones are conspicuously narrow (turbid or clear). their spontaneous production may be enhanced by uv-induction of producing bacteria. they are ...	1987	3673338
a new member of the family enterobacteriaceae--pragia fontium.	twenty isolates of the new genus and species pragia fontium producing h2s were biochemically characterized: they gave positive gluconate oxidation, utilized simmons citrate and 14 of them hydrolysed esculin. one of them did not produce hydrogen sulfide. their biochemical activity was low: they did not ferment lactose, adonitol, arabinose, cellobiose, dextrin, dulcitol, erythritol, inulin, maltose, mannitol, mannose, melezitose, melibiose, raffinose, rhamnose, sorbitol, sorbose, starch, sucrose o ...	1988	3221093
classification of strains of pragia fontium, budvicia aquatica and of leminorella by whole-cell protein pattern.	sds page protein patterns of 37 h2s-positive strains of species belonging to the family enterobacteriaceae including the genera budvicia (11 strains) and leminorella (l. grimontii--3 strains, l. richardii--4 strains) were compared with 10 strains of species pragia fontium. all strains under study form well separated clusters with overall similarity c = .49. clusters are separated in the range of c = .68-.83. they display high homogeneity, only one strain of edwardsiella tarda clusters with budvi ...	1992	1512457
detection of budvicia aquatica and pragia fontium and occurrence in surface waters.	we have reported a method for quantitative detection of budvicia aquatica and pragia fontium from water samples. budvicia aquatica but not pragia fontium was detected in the investigated surface water and sewage water samples.	1998	9916291
[the properties of pragia fontium bacteria isolated on the territories of ukraine and the czech republic].	the results are presented of the study of the properties (morphological, tinctorial, cultural, biochemical) and primary dna structure of 28 pragia fontium strains, 18 of which were isolated in the territory of ukraine and 10 in the territory of czechia. the scheme of differentiation of genera pragia, budvicia and leminorella is presented. the gc (guanine + cysteine) content of dna is 47 +/- 1.5 mol.%. the levels of dna relatedness of p. fontium strains and the type strain (cnctc eb11/82) varied ...	2000	10872281
phage tail-like (high-molecular-weight) bacteriocins of budvicia aquatica and pragia fontium (enterobacteriaceae).	electron microscopic analysis of contractile phage tail-like bacteriocins of three pragia fontium strains and one budvicia aquatica strain was performed. fonticin and aquaticin are remarkably heat sensitive but trypsin resistant. simultaneous production of contractile and flexible phage tail-like bacteriocins in the p. fontium 64613 strain is shown for the first time.	2005	16332902
[chemical characteristic and serological activity of pragia fontium lipopolysaccharides].	lipopolisaccharides (lps) of 8 strains of pragia fontium--representatives of a new genus of enterobacteriaceae family, was isolated for the first time. it was demonstrated, that lipopolysaccharides yields were 10-20% of dry cells weight. investigations of monosaccharide composition have determined the presence of glucose, galactose, rhamnose and mannose in lipopolysaccharides, that permitted to establish 4 chemotypes ofpolysaccharide part of lps. serological investigations showed immunochemical ...	2007	18380175
[chemical characteristic of structure components of pragia fontium lipopolysaccharides].	structure components (lipid a. oligosaccharide core, and o-specific polysaccharide) of the lipopolysaccharide from 8 strains of pragia fontium were obtained as a result of mild acidic hydrolysis. the macromolecular organization of lipopolysaccharides of studied strains was heterogeneous and presented both by s-forms, and r- or sr-forms. it was established that as to fatty acid composition lipids a of tested strains were represented by one chemotype with predominant 3-hydroxytetradecanoic fatty a ...	2008	19140416
biostraticola tofi gen. nov., spec. nov., a novel member of the family enterobacteriaceae.	bacterial strain bf36t, isolated from the biofilm of a tufa deposit in a hard water rivulet, was characterized by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. cells of these organisms were gram-negative, motile, nonpigmented, rod-shaped, non-endospore-forming, and facultatively anaerobic. cells, organized in loose consortia, were coated by a massive slime layer. phylogenetic analyses using 16s rrna gene sequences showed that strain bf36t was a member of the family enterobacteriaceae, class gammaproteobacter ...	2008	18324435
[biological activity of native and modified lipopolysaccharides of pragia fontium].	modified lipopolysaccharides (lps) of pragia fontium were obtained with germanium complexes (iv) of 2-aminobenzoylhydrazon of salicylic aldehyde (2-nh2-h2bs), 2-hydroxybenzoylhydrazon salicylic aldehyde (2-oh-h2bs) and nicotinoylhydrazon of salicylic aldehyde (h2ns). the modification of lps was confirmed by ir spectroscopy. comparative investigations of pyrogenic activity of native and modified lps showed, that only p. fontium 20125 lps, modified by germanium complexes with 2-hydroxybenzoylhydra ...	2009	19877414
[adhesive properties of pragia fontium lipopolysaccharides].	effect of lipopolysaccharides (lps) and their structure components (lipid a, oligosaccharide core, and o-specific polysaccharides) from 8 strains of p. fontium on the adhesion process have been investigated for the first time. it was demonstrated, that lps and their structural components may compete with e. coli adhesins and phytohemagglutinin under binding with receptors on the surface of the rabbit erythrocytes. an analysis of different structural components influence indicated, that in compar ...	2009	19938591
structure of the o-polysaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide of pragia fontium 97u116.	the o-polysaccharide of pragia fontium 97u116 was obtained by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide and studied by sugar analysis along with 1d and 2d (1)h and (13)c nmr spectroscopy. the following structure of the pentasaccharide-repeating unit was established: -->2)-alpha-d-galf-(1-->3)-alpha-l-rhap2ac(i)-(1-->4)-alpha-d-glcpnac(i)-(1-->2)-alpha-l-rhap(ii)-(1-->3)-beta-d-glcpnac(ii)-(1-->	2010	20598673
