| formosa haliotis sp. nov., a brown-alga-degrading bacterium isolated from the gut of the abalone haliotis gigantea. | four brown-alga-degrading, gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated, gliding and rod-shaped bacteria, designated lmg 28520t, lmg 28521, lmg 28522 and lmg 28523, were isolated from the gut of the abalone haliotis gigantea obtained in japan. the four isolates had identical random amplified polymorphic dna patterns and grew optimally at 25 °c, at ph 6.0-9.0 and in the presence of 1.0-4.0 % (w/v) nacl. phylogenetic trees based on 16s rrna gene sequences placed the isolates in the genus formosa ... | 2015 | 26354496 |
