| gas-chromatographic lipid profiles in identification of currently known slowly growing environmental mycobacteria. | cellular fatty acid analysis by glc is widely used in the species identification of mycobacteria. combining mycolic acid cleavage products with shorter cellular fatty acids increases the informative value of the analysis. a key has been created to aid in the identification of all currently known slowly growing environmental species. in this scheme, the species are classified into six categories, each characterized by a combination of fatty markers shared by those species. within each category, i ... | 2003 | 12676870 |
| mycobacterium hiberniae sp. nov. | strains of a new type of slowly growing scotochromogenic, rose-pink-pigmented mycobacterium were isolated repeatedly from sphagnum vegetation, true moss, and soil in ireland. these strains grew at 22, 31, and 37 degrees c but not at 45 degrees c and possessed acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase activities. they reduced nitrate, tolerated 0.1% nano2, did not split amides, and were resistant to most of the antituberculous drugs tested, except ethambutol. they did not form acid from glucose and mann ... | 1993 | 7684243 |
| survey of 150 strains belonging to the mycobacterium terrae complex and description of mycobacterium engbaekii sp. nov., mycobacterium heraklionense sp. nov. and mycobacterium longobardum sp. nov. | a thorough phenotypic and genotypic analysis of 150 strains belonging to the mycobacterium terrae complex resulted in the identification of a number of previously unreported sequevars (sqvs) within the species known to belong to the complex. for the species mycobacterium arupense, three sqvs were detected in the 16s rrna gene, six sqvs in the hsp65 gene and 15 sqvs in the rpob gene; in mycobacterium senuense two sqvs were present in each of the three genetic regions; in mycobacterium kumamotonen ... | 2013 | 22447702 |
