| long-chain fatty acids of peptococci and peptostreptococci. | the long-chain fatty acids extracted from the whole cells of 12 clinically significant species of peptococci and peptostreptococci were characterized by gas-liquid chromatography. the resulting methylated fatty acid profiles (and some unidentified compounds) of 82 strains allowed the 12 species to be separated into four groups. fifteen strains of peptostreptococcus anaerobius were placed in group i because they had a unique, prominent compound that occurred in the area where a c8 to c10 fatty ac ... | 1976 | 1002830 |
| peptostreptococcus vaginalis or peptostreptococcus prevotii? identification and clinical importance of a new species of peptostreptococcus. | peptostreptococcus vaginalis is a recently described species of gram-positive anaerobic coccus. we report one case in which p. vaginalis was isolated in pure culture from an abscess on the upper arm, and summarise nine further cases where it was isolated in mixed culture from other superficial sites, particularly infected leg ulcers. we suggest that clinical strains of p. vaginalis have probably been described in the past as peptostreptococcus prevotii, a species which has frequently been report ... | 1997 | 16887558 |
| fermentation of purines and their effect on the adenylate energy charge and viability of starved peptococcus prévotii. | the principal products of endogenous metabolism of the obligate anaerobe peptococcus prévotii were carbon dioxide, ammonia, acetate and butyrate, which are also produced by fermentation of nucleosides, purines and ribose, thus supporting our previous finding that rna is the only cellular component to undergo substantial degradation under starvation conditions. minor products were hydrogen, formate and propionate. the stoicheiometries of fermentation of xanthine, adenine, adenosine and ribose wer ... | 1976 | 993787 |
