| actinomyces vulturis sp. nov., isolated from gyps himalayensis. | two strains of gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming short rods (vul7t and vul8) were isolated from rectal swabs of old world vultures, namely gyps himalayensis, in tibet-qinghai plateau, china. optimal growth occurred at 37 °c, ph 6-7, with 1 % (w/v) nacl. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences classified the two strains to the genus actinomyces, with highest 16s rrna gene sequence similarity (95 %) to type strains of actinomyces haliotis, actinomyces r ... | 2017 | 28629509 |
