factors promoting cell division in a soft mycelial type of nocardia: nocardia turbata n. sp.		1954	13211975
flagellated actinomycetes.	shadowed motile elements from actinomycetes were observed with an electron microscope. included were three strains of actinoplanes, two of ampullariella, two of dermatophilus, two of spirillospora, and four of "nocardia" turbata. in addition, three types of previously undescribed actionmycetes were represented: (i) the c(4) group (four strains) forming substrate mycelium breaking into motile rods; (ii) strain 9-41, forming microellobosporia-like sporangia with motile spores; and (iii) strain p(2 ...	1967	6032515
description of oerskovia gen. n. to harbor orskov's motile nocardia.	the genus oerskovia is proposed to harbor actinomycetes forming an extensively branched substrate mycelium which usually breaks up into motile elements. cell wall preparations contain major amounts of lysine and galactose. aspartic acid is often present in major amounts. aerial mycelium is not formed. gram reaction and catalase production are positive. the type species is oerskovia turbata comb. n.	1970	5440174
motile nocardoid actinomycetales.	the properties of 42 strains of nocardoid (nocardioform) bacteria were compared. the results indicate that the organism previously called nocardia turbata does not belong to the genus nocardia nor does it fit into any of the previously described genera.	1970	4909355
bacterial endocarditis caused by oerskovia turbata.	oerskovia turbata is a yellow, motile actinomycete, which before now has only been found in soil and has not been known to cause disease in man or animals. it was isolated from 29 cultures of blood taken during 6 months from an urban pensioner after homograft replacement of his aortic valve. the combination of ampicillin, sulfamethoxazole, and trimethoprim was lethal for o. turbata in vitro; however, antimicrobial therapy alone failed to eradicate the patient's infection. cure was achieved after ...	1975	1200499
on the chemical structure of menaquinones with the tetrahydrogenated isoprenoid side chain.	new menaquinones have been isolated from oerskovia turbata and brevibacterium lipolyticum in the nocardioform and coryneform groups of bacteria, which have been identified to be a series of menaquinones with a tetrahydrogenated isoprenoid chain, designated as menaquinone-9(h4) and menaquinone-8(h4), respectively, by thin layer chromatography, ultraviolet and infrared spectrophotometry and mass spectrometry. the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the quinones have revealed that all the two sat ...	1976	1009133
distribution of menaquinones in actinomycetes and corynebacteria.	menaquinones were the only isoprenoid quinones found in 48 corynebacteria and actinomycete strains examined. dihydromenaquinones having nine isoprene units were the main components isolated from gordona, mycobacterium, corynebacterium bovis, corynebacterium glutamicum and a strain labelled nocardia farcinica, but dihydromenaquinones having eight isoprene units were characteristic of other corynebacterium species and representatives of the 'rhodochrous' complex. tetrahydromenaquinones having six ...	1977	894261
the structure of the menaquinones with a tetrahydrogenated isoprenoid side-chain.	menaquinones with a tetrahydrogenated isoprenoid side-chain of oerskovia turbata and brevibacterium lipolyticum were cyclized to the chromenyl acetate derivatives, which were then submitted to ozonolysis, followed by reduction with dimethylsulfide. the mass-spectrometric analyses of the ozonolysis products revealed the ion peaks at m/e 464 (m+), 449, 422, 407, 267 and 225. these results suggest that the two saturated double bonds are located continuously in the second and third units of the chai ...	1977	889867
production and ecological significance of yeast cell wall-degrading enzymes from oerskovia.	motile actinomycetes capable of degrading walls of viable yeast cells were isolated from soil and identified as oerskovia xanthineolytica. a lytic assay based on susceptibility of enzyme-treated cells to osmotic shock was developed, and 10 of 15 strains of o. xanthineolytica, oerskovia turbata, and nonmotile oerskovia- like organisms from other collections were found to possess yeast lytic activities. all lytic strains produced laminaranase and alpha-mannanase, but the amounts, determined by red ...	1978	16345321
interaction of bacteriophage o2 with strains of the genus oerskovia.	bacteriophage o2 multiplies normally on oerskovia turbata imet 47 153. it has a burst size of about 100 p.f.u. per infected cell and a latent period of 100 min at 30 degrees c. on oerskovia xanthineolytica imet 47 383 clear spots were formed after addition of high phage concentrations onto agar top layers. by phase contrast observation, and measurement of the optical density of infected cultures, it was found that the clearing effect on strain imet 47 383 was due to lysis-from-without. phage o2 ...	1981	7293244
rapid cataloging of ribonuclease t1 resistant oligonucleotides from ribosomal rnas for phylogenetic studies.	a rapid and simple method of oligonucleotide cataloging for phylogenetic studies is presented. it involves in vitro 5'-32p-labelling of rnase t1 - resistant oligonucleotides of ribosomal 16s rna and finger-printing by high voltage electrophoresis and gradient thinlayer chromatography. oligonucleotide sequences are established by the mobility shift method, using controlled alkali cleavage, high voltage electrophoresis and homochromatography. these procedures facilitate in particular the analysis ...	1981	6790718
catheter-related bacteremia caused by oerskovia turbata.	a case of broviac catheter-related bacteremia in a 3-year-old boy infected with oerskovia turbata is discussed. the blood cultures of the patient remained positive despite antibiotic therapy, and only with catheter removal was his blood sterilized. the microbiology and antimicrobial susceptibilities of this organism are described.	1989	2715328
