| phylogenetic evidence that the gram-negative nonsporulating bacterium tissierella (bacteroides) praeacuta is a member of the clostridium subphylum of the gram-positive bacteria and description of tissierella creatinini sp. nov. | the 16s rrna gene sequence of the type strain of tissierella praeacuta (formerly bacteroides praeacutus) was determined by pcr direct sequencing. a comparative sequence analysis showed that t. praeacuta is a member of the clostridium subphylum of the gram-positive bacteria and has a close phylogenetic affinity with the species that form clostridium cluster xii (m. d. collins, p. a. lawson, a. willems, j. j. cordoba, j. fernandez-garayzabal, p. garcia, j. cai, h. hippe, and j. a. e. farrow, int. ... | 1995 | 8590669 |
| fast purification of thioredoxin reductases and of thioredoxins with an unusual redox-active centre from anaerobic, amino-acid-utilizing bacteria. | thioredoxin reductase and thioredoxin are primarily involved in catabolic metabolism as important electron carriers in anaerobic, amino-acid-degrading bacteria. a general and fast procedure was developed for the purification of thioredoxin reductase and thioredoxin from eubacterium acidaminophilum, clostridium litorale, c. sticklandii, c. sporogenes, c. cylindrosporum and 'tissierella creatinophila' based upon their properties: the binding to 2',5'-amp-sepharose by thioredoxin reductase and the ... | 1998 | 9534247 |
| tissierella creatinophila sp. nov., a gram-positive, anaerobic, non-spore-forming, creatinine-fermenting organism. | a strictly anaerobic, gram-positive, non-spore-forming bacterium was isolated from sewage sludge which grew on creatinine as sole source of carbon and energy. this new isolate, designated strain kre 4t, totally degraded creatinine via creatine, sarcosine and glycine to the products acetate, monomethylamine, ammonia and carbon dioxide. growth on creatinine or creatine was selenium-dependent and stimulated by formate, indicating the involvement of a creatine reductase, sarcosine reductase and/or g ... | 1998 | 9734055 |
| sarcosine reductase of tissierella creatinophila: purification and characterization of its components. | sarcosine reductase is the only reductase system present in tissierella creatinophila when grown on creatinine plus formate. the acetyl-phosphate-forming component protein c was purified to homogeneity. sds-page of the purified protein revealed two protein bands with apparent mol. masses of 62 and 50 kda. the n-terminal amino acid sequence of the two subunits was determined. antibodies raised against each of the subunits of protein c from eubacterium acidaminophilum cross-reacted with the corres ... | 1998 | 9799288 |
| clostridium hastiforme is a later synonym of tissierella praeacuta. | the previously proposed species clostridium hastiforme and tissierella praeacuta appear to be similar from their published descriptions. accordingly, the aim of the current study was to perform phenotypic and genetic analyses of the type strains of both species, in order to clarify their taxonomic positions. the type strains of c. hastiforme (dsm 5675(t)) and t. praeacuta (nctc 11158(t)) exhibited identical biochemical profiles and their 16s rrna gene sequences displayed 99.9 % similarity. dna-d ... | 2004 | 15143047 |
| multicentre survey of the in-vitro activity of seven antimicrobial agents, including ertapenem, against recently isolated gram-negative anaerobic bacteria in greece. | the in-vitro activities of penicillin, ticarcillin-clavulanic acid, cefoxitin, imipenem, ertapenem, metronidazole and clindamycin were evaluated against 138 gram-negative anaerobic isolates (82 bacteroides fragilis group, 17 non-fragilis bacteroides spp., 31 prevotella spp., four fusobacterium spp., two veillonella spp., one porphyromonas sp. and one tissierella praeacuta) collected from six general hospitals in athens, greece. overall rates of non-susceptibility (both resistant and intermediate ... | 2005 | 16153256 |
| bacterial communities in a crude oil gathering and transferring system (china). | bacterial communities in crude oil and oil field production water samples from an oil gathering and transferring system in changqing oil field in china were investigated by 16s rrna denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge) analysis followed by gene cloning and sequencing. dgge profiles showed that bacterial communities are far more rich in the water samples than that in the crude oil samples, and that bacteria related to ochrobactrum sp. and stenotrophomonas sp. were detected in all crude ... | 2009 | 19351561 |
| anaerobic brain abscess following chronic suppurative otitis media in a child from uganda. | brain abscess, while rare, confers high mortality, especially in the developing world. the case of a ugandan child with a polymicrobial brain abscess including infection with tissierella praeacuta/clostridium hastiforme requiring repeated drainage and eventual surgical excision is reported. the case demonstrates the importance of considering anaerobic organisms in the treatment of children with brain abscess from the developing world. | 2009 | 20808460 |
| comparative and joint analysis of two metagenomic datasets from a biogas fermenter obtained by 454-pyrosequencing. | biogas production from renewable resources is attracting increased attention as an alternative energy source due to the limited availability of traditional fossil fuels. many countries are promoting the use of alternative energy sources for sustainable energy production. in this study, a metagenome from a production-scale biogas fermenter was analysed employing roche's gs flx titanium technology and compared to a previous dataset obtained from the same community dna sample that was sequenced on ... | 2011 | 21297863 |
