| human fecal flora: the normal flora of 20 japanese-hawaiians. | quantitative and qualitative examination of the fecal flora of 20 clinically healthy japanese-hawaiian males was carried out by using anaerobic tube culture techniques. cultural counts were 93% of the microscopic clump counts. isolated colonies were selected in a randomized manner to give an unbiased sampling of the viable bacterial types. each isolate was characterized for species identification. from a total of 1,147 isolates, 113 distinct types of organisms were observed. statistical estimate ... | 1974 | 4598229 |
| intestinal floras of populations that have a high risk of colon cancer. | the fecal floras of polyp patients, japanese-hawaiians, north american caucasians, rural native japanese, and rural native africans were compared. the polyp patients and japanese-hawaiians were considered to be groups at high risk of colon cancer, and the rural native japanese and rural native africans were considered to be groups at low risk. the north american caucasians were found to have a flora composition intermediate between these two groups. fifteen bacterial taxa from the human fecal fl ... | 1995 | 7574628 |
| idiomarina loihiensis sp. nov., a halophilic gamma-proteobacterium from the lō'ihi submarine volcano, hawai'i. | during an investigation of bacterial diversity at hydrothermal vents on the lō'ihi seamount, hawai'i, a novel bacterium (designated l2-tr(t)) was cultivated, which shares 99.9 % 16s rrna gene sequence similarity over 1415 nt with an uncultured eubacterium from sediment at a depth of 11 000 m in the mariana trench. the nearest cultivated neighbour of l2-tr(t), however, is idiomarina abyssalis kmm 227(t), with which it shares 98.9 % 16s rrna sequence similarity. l2-tr(t) differed from i. abyssalis ... | 2003 | 14657116 |
