| the phylogeny of acetic acid bacteria based on the partial sequences of 16s ribosomal rna: the elevation of the subgenus gluconoacetobacter to the generic level. | thirty-six strains of acetic acid bacteria classified in the genera acetobacter, gluconobacter, and acidomonas were examined for their partial base sequences in positions 1220 through 1375, 156 bases, of 16s rrna. the strains of the q10-equipped gluconobacter species examined were divided into two subgroups, which included the type strains of gluconobacter oxydans, the type species of the genus gluconobacter, and of a second species, gluconobacter cerinus, respectively. the base differences numb ... | 1997 | 9301103 |
| asaia bogorensis gen. nov., sp. nov., an unusual acetic acid bacterium in the alpha-proteobacteria. | eight gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and peritrichously flagellated strains were isolated from flowers of the orchid tree (bauhinia purpurea) and of plumbago (plumbago auriculata), and from fermented glutinous rice, all collected in indonesia. the enrichment culture approach for acetic acid bacteria was employed, involving use of sorbitol medium at ph 3.5. all isolates grew well at ph 3.0 and 30 degrees c. they did not oxidize ethanol to acetic acid except for one strain that oxidized ethano ... | 2000 | 10758893 |
| kozakia baliensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel acetic acid bacterium in the alpha-proteobacteria. | four bacterial strains were isolated from palm brown sugar and ragi collected in bali and yogyakarta, indonesia, by an enrichment culture approach for acetic acid bacteria. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that the four isolates constituted a cluster separate from the genera acetobacter, gluconobacter, acidomonas, gluconacetobacter and asaia with a high bootstrap value in a phylogenetic tree. the isolates had high values of dna-dna similarity (78-100%) between one an ... | 2002 | 12054243 |
| emendation of the genus acidomonas urakami, tamaoka, suzuki and komagata 1989. | the genus acidomonas and the species acidomonas methanolica were recharacterized by using the type strain (nric 0498(t)), three reference strains and 10 methanol-utilizing bacteria that were isolated from activated sludge from three different sewage-treatment plants in tokyo. based on 16s rdna sequences, all strains formed a single cluster within the acetobacteraceae that was clearly different from the genera acetobacter, gluconobacter, gluconacetobacter, asaia and kozakia: the 14 strains were i ... | 2004 | 15143037 |
| swaminathania salitolerans gen. nov., sp. nov., a salt-tolerant, nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-solubilizing bacterium from wild rice (porteresia coarctata tateoka). | a novel species, swaminathania salitolerans gen. nov., sp. nov., was isolated from the rhizosphere, roots and stems of salt-tolerant, mangrove-associated wild rice (porteresia coarctata tateoka) using nitrogen-free, semi-solid lgi medium at ph 5.5. strains were gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile with peritrichous flagella. the strains grew well in the presence of 0.35% acetic acid, 3% nacl and 1% kno3, and produced acid from l-arabinose, d-glucose, glycerol, ethanol, d-mannose, d-galactose and ... | 2004 | 15280289 |
| neoasaia chiangmaiensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel osmotolerant acetic acid bacterium in the alpha-proteobacteria. | an acetic acid bacterium, designated as isolate ac28(t), was isolated from a flower of red ginger (khing daeng in thai; alpinia purpurata) collected in chiang mai, thailand, at ph 3.5 by use of a glucose/ethanol/acetic acid (0.3%, w/v) medium. a phylogenetic tree based on 16s rrna gene sequences for 1,376 bases showed that isolate ac28(t) constituted a cluster along with the type strain of kozakia baliensis. however, the isolate formed an independent cluster in a phylogenetic tree based on 16s-2 ... | 2005 | 16314684 |
| biodegradation of allethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide, by an acidomonas sp. | allethrin is a major mosquito repellent agent. to degrade allethrin present in used mats and the environment, a bacterium capable of utilizing allethrin was isolated. this isolate, an acidomonas sp., grew in minimal medium with 16 mm: allethrin as sole source of carbon and degraded >70% of it in 72 h, with negligible residual metabolites in the medium. culture filtrates collected after 48 h and 72 h showed presence of (i) cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methyl-1-propenyl), (ii) 2- ... | 2005 | 16328989 |
| formaldehyde uptake by methylobacterium sp. mf1 and acidomonas methanolica mb 58 with the different formaldehyde assimilation pathways. | methylobacterium sp. mf1 (an obligate methylotrophic bacterium isolated newly by the authors) and acidomonas methanolica mb58 (a facultative methylotrophic bacterium) uptake formaldehyde similarly. it was found that the former assimilated formaldehyde via the serine pathway whereas the latter did so via the ribulose-monophosphate pathway from the measurement of the key enzyme activities in each assimilation pathway. that is, hydroxy pyruvate reductase was detected in only the above-mentioned mf1 ... | 2006 | 17095990 |
| recent advances in nitrogen-fixing acetic acid bacteria. | nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient, widely applied as n-fertilizer to improve yield of agriculturally important crops. an interesting alternative to avoid or reduce the use of n-fertilizers could be the exploitation of plant growth-promoting bacteria (pgpb), capable of enhancing growth and yield of many plant species, several of agronomic and ecological significance. pgpb belong to diverse genera, including azospirillum, azotobacter, herbaspirillum, bacillus, burkholderia, pseudomonas, rhiz ... | 2008 | 18177965 |
| genera and species in acetic acid bacteria. | taxonomic studies of acetic acid bacteria were historically surveyed. the genus acetobacter was first introduced in 1898 with a single species, acetobacter aceti. the genus gluconobacter was proposed in 1935 for strains with intense oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid rather than oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid and no oxidation of acetate. the genus "acetomonas" was described in 1954 for strains with polar flagellation and no oxidation of acetate. the proposals of the two generic names wer ... | 2008 | 18199517 |
| tanticharoenia sakaeratensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a new osmotolerant acetic acid bacterium in the alpha-proteobacteria. | tanticharoenia sakaeratensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed for three strains isolated from soil collected in thailand. the three strains, ac37(t), ac38, and ac39, were included within a lineage comprising the genera asaia, kozakia, swaminathania, neoasaia, acetobacter, gluconobacter, and saccharibacter in a phylogenetic tree based on 16s rrna gene sequences, but formed a quite different, independent cluster. pair-wise sequence similarities of strain ac37(t) were 96.5-92.1% to the type strains ... | 2008 | 18323667 |
| composition of bacterial communities associated with natural and laboratory populations of asobara tabida infected with wolbachia. | asobara tabida wasps are fly endoparasitoids that naturally harbor three wolbachia strains, which induce cytoplasmic incompatibility and control oogenesis. to investigate whether other bacteria play a role in wasp biology, we surveyed the bacterial communities of wild a. tabida populations originating from different regions of france and of laboratory colonies using pcr-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and culture methods. proteobacteria and firmicutes were found to be the main phyla repr ... | 2009 | 19376923 |
| mxaf gene, a gene encoding alpha subunit of methanol dehydrogenase in and false growth of acetic acid bacteria on methanol. | mxaf gene, a gene encoding alpha subunit of methanol dehydrogenase, was investigated for acetic acid bacteria, and growth on methanol was examined for the bacteria by using various media. of 21 strains of acetic acid bacteria studied, acidomonas methanolica strains showed the presence of mxaf gene exclusively, and grew on a defined medium containing methanol. further, none of the strains tested of which the growth on methanol had been previously reported, except for acidomonas methanolica, showe ... | 2009 | 19436127 |
