| isolation and identification of symbiotic bacteria from the skin, mouth, and rectum of wild and captive tree shrews. | endosymbionts influence many aspects of their hosts' health conditions, including physiology, development, immunity, metabolism, etc. tree shrews (tupaia belangeri chinensis) have attracted increasing attention in modeling human diseases and therapeutic responses due to their close relationship with primates. to clarify the situation of symbiotic bacteria from their body surface, oral cavity, and anus, 12 wild and 12 the third generation of captive tree shrews were examined. based on morphologic ... | 2014 | 25465085 |
| bacterial diversity in different regions of gastrointestinal tract of giant african snail (achatina fulica). | the gastrointestinal (gi) tract of invasive land snail achatina fulica is known to harbor metabolically active bacterial communities. in this study, we assessed the bacterial diversity in the different regions of gi tract of giant african snail, a. fulica by culture-independent and culture-dependent methods. five 16s rrna gene libraries from different regions of gi tract of active snails indicated that sequences affiliated to phylum γ-proteobacteria dominated the esophagus, crop, intestine, and ... | 2012 | 23233413 |
| pyrosequencing analysis of microbial community and food-borne bacteria on restaurant cutting boards collected in seri kembangan, malaysia, and their correlation with grades of food premises. | this study adopts the pyrosequencing technique to identify bacteria present on 26 kitchen cutting boards collected from different grades of food premises around seri kembangan, a city in malaysia. pyrosequencing generated 452,401 of total reads of otus with an average of 1.4×10(7) bacterial cells/cm(2). proteobacteria, firmicutes and bacteroides were identified as the most abundant phyla in the samples. taxonomic richness was generally high with >1000 operational taxonomic units (otus) observed ... | 2015 | 25679309 |
| highly effective bacterial agents against cimbex quadrimaculatus (hymenoptera: cimbicidae): isolation of bacteria and their insecticidal activities. | cimbex quadrimaculatus (hymenoptera: cimbicidae) is one of the serious pests of almonds in turkey and worldwide. since there is no effective control application against this pest, it has been a serious problem up to now. therefore, we aimed to find an effective bacterium that can be utilized as a biocontrol agent against c. quadrimaculatus in pest management. we isolated seven bacteria from dead and live c. quadrimaculatus larvae, and evaluated the larvicidal potency of all isolates on the respe ... | 2015 | 25358421 |
| analysis of bacterial diversity during the fermentation of inyu, a high-temperature fermented soy sauce, using nested pcr-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and the plate count method. | the diversity of bacteria associated with the fermentation of inyu, also known as black soy sauce, was studied through the nested pcr-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge) of samples collected from the fermentation stages of the inyu production process. the dgge profiles targeted the bacterial 16s rdna and revealed the presence of citrobacter farmeri, enterobacter cloacae, enterobacter hormaechei, enterococcus faecium, klebsiella pneumoniae, pantoea agglomerans, salmonella enterica, ser ... | 2013 | 23200659 |
| kurthia gibsonii as a sexually transmitted zoonosis: from a neglected condition during world war ii to a recent warning for sexually transmitted disease units. | zoonotic sexual transmission. | 2017 | 27190416 |
| detection of sulphate-reducing bacteria and others cultivable facultative bacteria in dental tissues. | to detect for the presence of sulphate-reducing bacteria (srb) and evaluate the possible association between srb and cultivable facultative bacterial of oral sites with different periodontal conditions. | 2014 | 27688355 |
| isolation of kurthia gibsonii from non-gonorrheal urethritis: implications for the pathomechanism upon surveying the literature. | the incidence and number of species involved in the spectrum of sexually transmitted infections continue to increase. laboratories have to be prepared for identification of unusual microbes. in our practice, a male patient had recurring urethritis and balanitis after having repeated unprotected insertive sexual intercourse with female piglets. he also had allergy to scents and some metals, otherwise he showed no general symptoms. specimens were swabbed from the urethra, inflamed glans, rectum, m ... | 2014 | 24631755 |
| kurthia huakuii sp. nov., isolated from biogas slurry, and emended description of the genus kurthia. | a novel facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated strain lam0618(t), was isolated from biogas slurry samples collected from the large-scale anaerobic digester of modern farming corporation in hebei province, china. cells of strain lam0618(t) were gram-stain-positive, motile, non-spore-forming and short-rod-shaped. the optimal temperature and ph for growth were 30 °c and 7.0, respectively. the strain did not require nacl for growth but tolerated up to 70 g nacl l(-1). the major fatty acids of ... | 2014 | 24108326 |
| the vitamin requirements of kurthia zopfii and kurthia gibsonii. | the vitamin requirements of 17 k. gibsonii strains, 41 k. zopfii strains and 11 presumptive kurthia isolates which could not be assigned to either species, were determined. when supplied with casamino acids and/or casitone the k. gibsonii strains required biotin + thiamine for growth whereas the k. zopfii strains required biotin + thiamine + pantothenic acid. the difference in their requirements provides support for the existence of the two species within the genus. eight of the 11 presumptive k ... | 1983 | 23194801 |
| a numerical taxonomic study of the genus kurthia with a revised description of kurthia zopfii and a description of kurthia gibsonii sp. nov. | one hundred and twelve strains including fresh isolates of kurthia from a wide variety of habitats and named reference strains of the genera arthrobacter, bacillus, brevibacterium, cellulomonas, corynebacterium, curtobacterium, "flavobacterium', kurthia, microbacterium, nocardia and rhodococcus were tested for 192 morphological, cultural, biochemical, and physiological characters. various numerical analyses were performed on the data. all reference strains and most fresh isolates of kurthia form ... | 1983 | 23194597 |
