| acinetobacter nectaris sp. nov. and acinetobacter boissieri sp. nov., isolated from floral nectar of wild mediterranean insect-pollinated plants. | the taxonomic status of 14 strains of members of the genus acinetobacter isolated from floral nectar of wild mediterranean insect-pollinated plants, which did not belong to any previously described species within this genus, was investigated following a polyphasic approach. confirmation that these strains formed two separate lineages within the genus acinetobacter was obtained from comparative analysis of the partial sequences of the 16s rrna gene and the gene encoding the β-subunit of rna polym ... | 2013 | 22904213 |
| effect of bacteria type and sucrose concentration on levan yield and its molecular weight. | levan has been traditionally produced from microorganism. however, there is a continuous effort in looking for new strains that improve levan production yield and uses alternative sugar sources for growth. despite having a wide range of data about levan yield, there are not papers which allow controlling molecular weight, and that plays an essential role for further applications. | 2017 | 28535808 |
| microbial diversity in the floral nectar of linaria vulgaris along an urbanization gradient. | microbes are common inhabitants of floral nectar and are capable of influencing plant-pollinator interactions. all studies so far investigated microbial communities in floral nectar in plant populations that were located in natural environments, but nothing is known about these communities in nectar of plants inhabiting urban environments. however, at least some microbes are vectored into floral nectar by pollinators, and because urbanization can have a profound impact on pollinator communities ... | 2016 | 27030361 |
| acinetobacter apis sp. nov., isolated from the intestinal tract of a honey bee, apis mellifera. | a novel gram-negative, obligate aerobic, non-motile, and both coccobacillus- and bacillus-shaped bacterium, designated strain hyn18(t), was isolated from the intestinal tract of a honey bee (apis mellifera). the isolate was oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. strain hyn18(t) showed optimum growth at 25°c, ph 6-7, and in the presence of 1% (w/v) nacl in trypticase soy broth medium. the isolate was negative for hydrolyses of starch, casein, gelatin and urea, indole production from tryptone and ... | 2014 | 25098562 |
