| neptunomonas japonica sp. nov., an osedax japonicus symbiont-like bacterium isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan. | novel bacterial species were isolated from sediments adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan, at a depth of 226-246 m. the isolated strains, jamm 0745t, jamm 1380, jamm 1475 and jamm 1610, were gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and motile by means of a single polar or subterminal flagellum. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences of the novel isolates indicated a relationship to a symbiotic bacterial clone of the polychaete osedax japonicus (99.6-99.9 % s ... | 2008 | 18398184 |
| psychromonas japonica sp. nov., psychromonas aquimarina sp. nov., psychromonas macrocephali sp. nov. and psychromonas ossibalaenae sp. nov., psychrotrophic bacteria isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan. | four novel species of psychrotrophic bacteria were isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan, at a depth of 228-250 m. cells of the five isolated strains, jamm 0394(t), jamm 0404(t), jamm 0415(t), jamm 0700 and jamm 0738(t), were gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-sporulating and motile by means of a single polar flagellum. the novel strains were able to produce isoprenoid quinone q-8 as the major component. the predominant fatty acids were c(16 : 0) and c(16 : 1) ... | 2008 | 18599721 |
| amphritea japonica sp. nov. and amphritea balenae sp. nov., isolated from the sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan. | two novel species were isolated from the sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan, at a depth of about 230 m. the isolated strains, jamm 1866(t), jamm 1548 and jamm 1525(t), were gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and motile by means of a single polar or bipolar flagellum. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences of strains jamm 1866(t) and jamm 1548 indicated a relationship to the symbiotic bacterial clone r21 of osedax japonicus (100 % sequence si ... | 2008 | 19060065 |
| aquimarina macrocephali sp. nov., isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses. | a gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic strain with gliding motility, designated jamb n27(t), was isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan, at a depth of 219 m. strain jamb n27(t) contained mk-6 as the major isoprenoid quinone and iso-c₁₅:₀, iso-c₁₅:₁, c₁₆:₁ and iso-c₁₇:₁ as the predominant fatty acids. casein, chitin, gelatin and starch were degraded. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that strain jamb n27( ... | 2010 | 19915102 |
