| survival and reversion of a stable l form in soil. | the stable l form of agromyces ramosus reverted to a bacterial form when incubated in sterilized soil. the cellular and colonial morphology of this bacterial form resembled that of the original parent bacterial form. the two forms differed, however, in that the revertant maintained its bacterial form when transferred onto a low-salt (nacl) medium but was virtually completely induced into the l-form state on a high-salt medium. the original parent bacterial form was not sensitive to salt. the pos ... | 1978 | 754877 |
| small cells in pure cultures of agromyces ramosus and in natural soil. | previously, transmission electron-microscopic observations of thin-sectioned and frozen-etched preparations of microorganisms concentrated directly from soil showed many cells that were considerably smaller than the cells found in pure cultures isolated from soil. the present study shows that pure cultures of the soil bacterium agromyces ramosus can produce cells as small as those observed in natural soil. growth on a nutritionally limiting medium and the presence of an agar surface contributed ... | 1977 | 837257 |
| l-phase variants of agromyces ramosus. | agromyces ramosus, which is a numerically prevalent bacterium in soil, was easily induced into the l-phase by growing it on agar media containing low levels of penicillin or glycine. the l-forms were stable after initial contact with the inducing agent and could not be reverted to the bacterial form by any of the procedures tried. these results are discussed in relation to a possible natural occurrence of l-forms of this bacterium in soil. | 1975 | 1080392 |

| analysis of bacterial dna in skin and muscle of the tyrolean iceman offers new insight into the mummification process. | about 80 sequences (16s ribosomal rna gene) of bacterial dna in samples of skin and muscle taken directly from the tyrolean iceman (3350-3100 years b.c.) or recovered during the 1992 archaeological expedition at the alpine site were analyzed to obtain clues to the natural mummification process that allowed the corpse of the neolithic shepherd/hunter to be preserved for more than 5,000 years. the investigation was made more complex by the fact that the surface of the mummy had been swabbed with p ... | 2000 | 10640948 |
| [1,5-poly(ribitol phosphate) with tetrasaccharide substituents in the cell wall of agromyces fucosus ssp. hippuratus]. | cell walls of agromyces fucosus ssp. hippuratus vkm ac-1352t and vkm ac-1353 contain teichoic acids of identical structure. the polymer is of a 1.5-poly(ribitol phosphate) type. each ribitol phosphate residue is substituted at c-4(2) by tetrasaccharide having the following structure: alpha-l-rhap(1-->3)-alpha-l-rhap-(1-->3)-beta-d-glcpnac-(1-- >2)- alpha-l-rhap-(1-->. the teichoic acid chain is made up by 12-13 repeating units. no structurally identical polymer of the procaryotic cell wall has s ... | 1994 | 7873688 |
| agromyces terreus sp. nov., isolated from soil. | a gram-positive, non-motile, cream-coloured, curved or straight rod-shaped bacterial strain, ds-10(t), was isolated from soil of dokdo, korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. strain ds-10(t) grew optimally at 25 degrees c and ph 7.0-8.0 in the presence of 0.5-1.0 % (w/v) nacl. strain ds-10(t) had peptidoglycan type b2gamma [d-glu-d-dab (diaminobutyric acid)] and galactose and ribose as whole-cell sugars. strain ds-10(t) contained mk-11, mk-12 and mk-10 ... | 2008 | 18523170 |
| characterization of estrogen-degrading bacteria isolated from an artificial sandy aquifer with ultrafiltered secondary effluent as the medium. | this study investigated the aerobic and anoxic biodegradation of four estrogens [estrone (e1), estradiol (e2), estriol (e3), and the synthetic 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol (ee2)] in microcosms constructed with marine sand and ulftrafiltered (uf) secondary effluent. three estrogen-degrading bacteria, lhj1, lhj3, and cyh, were isolated. based on gram-stain morphology and 16s rrna sequence homology, lhj1 and lhj3 belong to the genus acinetobacter and agromyces, respectively; cyh matched to 95% with th ... | 2007 | 17396255 |
| predominant catalase-negative soil bacteria. iii. agromyces, gen. n., microorganisms intermediary to actinomyces and nocardia. | the occurrence of filamentous, branching, catalase-negative bacteria as a numerically predominant microflora of various soils was demonstrated by using a dilution frequency isolation procedure. the major characteristics of these organisms were those of the order actinomycetales. however, they could not be placed in any of the present genera of this order and, therefore, a new genus, agromyces, was proposed for these organisms. this genus includes catalase-negative, nutritionally-fastidious micro ... | 1969 | 16349860 |
| agromyces salentinus sp. nov. and agromyces neolithicus sp. nov. | a polyphasic study was carried out to clarify the taxonomic position of two gram-positive bacteria isolated from soil samples of the grotta dei cervi (italy), a relatively unexplored hypogean environment. the strains, 20-5t and 23-23t, showed phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics that were consistent with their classification in the genus agromyces. 16s rrna gene sequence comparisons revealed that the two strains formed distinct phyletic lines within the genus agromyces. based on 16s rrna ... | 2005 | 15653869 |
| agromyces albus sp. nov., isolated from a plant (androsace sp.). | agromyces albus sp. nov. is proposed for an aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive actinomycete that was isolated from the above-ground part of a plant (androsace sp., in the family primulaceae). the strain is characterized by white colonies, fragmenting hyphae that penetrate into agar media and chemotaxonomic properties that are typical of the genus agromyces: analysis of 16s rdna sequences confirmed that the strain belongs to the genus agromyces and revealed its close phylogenetic relationshi ... | 2003 | 13130029 |
| application of temperature-gradient gel electrophoresis in taxonomy of coryneform bacteria. | strains belonging to the gram-positive coryneform soil bacteria were screened genotypically by temperature-gradient gel electrophoresis (tgge). this method allows the sequence-specific separation of amplified fragments of 16s rrna genes. a total of 115 reference strains representing the majority of the species of the genera aeromicrobium, agromyces, arthrobacter, aureobacterium, cellulomonas, curtobacterium, nocardioides and terrabacter were characterized. depending on the genus investigated, th ... | 1999 | 10028252 |
| taxonomic significance of 2,4-diaminobutyric acid isomers in the cell wall peptidoglycan of actinomycetes and reclassification of clavibacter toxicus as rathayibacter toxicus comb. nov. | an hplc procedure which separates d- and l-amino acid isomers was applied to an analysis of peptidoglycan of 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (dab)-containing actinomycetes. the cell wall peptidoglycans of species of the genera agromyces, clavibacter and rathayibacter contain dab and have been differentiated principally by their menaquinone profile. these peptidoglycans are known to be identical in structure, all being of the b2 gamma type, possessing both d- and l-dab. the type strains of all the subspe ... | 1998 | 9731278 |
| effects of magnesium, calcium, and serum on reversion of stable l-forms. | the l-form of agromyces ramosus was stable in the absence of penicillin when transferred on heart infusion agar containing nacl and serum. it reverted to its bacterial form, however, when magnesium replaced the serum in this medium. on a dilute medium containing nacl but lacking serum, the l-form died out unless calcium, magnesium, or serum was added. it grew as the l-form in the presence of calcium of serum but reverted to the bacterial form in the presence of magnesium. reversion also occurred ... | 1978 | 711674 |
