| the polar polysaccharide capsule of hyphomonas adhaerens mhs-3 has a strong affinity for gold. | select groups of bacteria, including prothescate species, have an unusual capacity to sequester gold and bioconcentrate it to very high levels. hyphomonas adhaerens mhs-3 (mhs-3) is one such species, as demonstrated by energy dispersive spectroscopy. transmission electron microscopy revealed that the binding site was specific on the polar polysaccharide capsule. a capsuleless mutant and periodate-treated wild type did not sequester gold. the gold may interact with the same sites in the capsule t ... | 2001 | 11598803 |
| phylogenetic analysis of bacterial communities associated with leaves of the seagrass halophila stipulacea by a culture-independent small-subunit rrna gene approach. | the phylogenetic diversity of the bacterial community associated with leaves of the marine plant halophila stipulacea in the northern gulf of elat was examined by 16s rrna gene (rdna) sequence analyses of a clone library. for 59 clones corresponding to 51 ardra (amplified rdna restriction analysis) groups, the sequence of approximately 1 kb was determined, and the fraction of the corresponding ardra groups of the leaf library was calculated. the class proteobacteria was represented by 62.6% of t ... | 2000 | 10790514 |

| influence of divalent cations and ph on adsorption of a bacterial polysaccharide adhesin. | hyphomonas mhs-3 (mhs-3) elaborates a diffuse capsular material, primarily composed of polysaccharide, which has been implicated to serve as the holdfast of this prosthecate marine bacterium. a purified polysaccharide (fr2ps) from this capsular material exhibits a relatively large affinity for (ge), or more precisely for the ge oxide surface film. in its natural habitat mhs-3 attaches to marine sediments. this suggests that molecular properties of fr2ps have evolved to render it adhesive toward ... | 1998 | 9710502 |
| fine-structure evidence for cell membrane partitioning of the nucleoid and cytoplasm during bud formation in hyphomonas species. | hyphomonas spp. reproduce by budding from the tip of the prosthecum, distal to the main body of the reproductive cell; thus, the chromosome must travel through the prosthecum to enter the progeny, the swarm cell. when viewed by electron microscopy, negatively stained whole cells, ultrathin-sectioned cells, and freeze-etched and frozen hydrated cells all had marked swellings of the cytoplasmic membrane (cm) in the prosthecum which are termed pseudovesicles (pv). pv were separated by constrictions ... | 1997 | 8981992 |
| genomic analysis of hyphomonas neptunium contradicts 16s rrna gene-based phylogenetic analysis: implications for the taxonomy of the orders 'rhodobacterales' and caulobacterales. | hyphomonas neptunium is a marine prosthecate alpha-proteobacterium currently classified as a member of the order 'rhodobacterales'. although this classification is supported by 16s rrna gene sequence phylogeny, 23s rrna gene sequence analysis, concatenated ribosomal proteins, hsp70 and ef-tu phylogenies all support classifying hyphomonas neptunium as a member of the caulobacterales instead. the possible reasons why the 16s rrna gene sequence gives conflicting results in this case are also discus ... | 2005 | 15879228 |
| a novel glycolipid, 1,2-diacyl-3-alpha-d-glucuronopyranosyl-sn-glycerol taurineamide, from the budding seawater bacterium hyphomonas jannaschiana. | a previously unknown glycolipid has been isolated from the budding seawater bacterium hyphomonas jannaschiana vp-2t devoid of phospholipids. using a combination of chromatographic, spectrometric, enzymic- and chemical-degradation methods, the structure of the lipid has been determined to be 1,2-diacyl-3-alpha-d-glucuronopyranosyl-sn-glycerol taurineamide. its main fatty acyls are n-16:0, cis-16:1 omega 7, n-18:0, cis-18:1 omega 7, and n-19:0. the hydroxyl at the sn-1 position of the glycerol res ... | 1996 | 8695667 |
