| agrococcus jenensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a new genus of actinomycetes with diaminobutyric acid in the cell wall. | two strains of a new gram-positive coryneform bacterium isolated from soil and from a sandstone surface are described. strain 2002-39/1t (t = type strain) is a coccoid, nonmotile, non-acid-fast, microaerophilic organism. the menaquinones of this strain are mk-12 and mk-11, and the main components of the whole-cell sugars are glucose and rhamnose. no mycolic acids are present. the g+c content of the dna is 74 mol%. comparative 16s ribosomal dna studies and a cell wall analysis revealed that this ... | 1996 | 8573501 |
| agrococcus citreus sp. nov., isolated from a medieval wall painting of the chapel of castle herberstein (austria). | a bacterial strain, d-1/1at, isolated from a medieval wall painting of the chapel of herberstein (styria, austria) was characterized by a polyphasic approach. strain d-1/1at shared 98.1% 16s rrna sequence similarity to agrococcus jenensis. the chemotaxonomic characteristics including polar lipid pattern, whole cell sugars, quinone system, polyamine pattern, cell wall composition and fatty acid profile were in good agreement with those of agrococcus jenensis. the g+c content of the dna was determ ... | 1999 | 10425775 |
| agrococcus baldri sp. nov., isolated from the air in the 'virgilkapelle' in vienna. | five coccoid, gram-positive strains were isolated from the air of the 'virgilkapelle' in vienna. a representative of these five strains, v-108t, shared 99.0 and 98.4% 16s rdna sequence similarity, respectively, with agrococcus jenensis dsm 9580 and agrococcus citreus dsm 12453t. colonies of the five strains were white when grown in the dark and turned yellow in the light. the strains displayed highly similar biochemical and physiological characteristics and showed only small differences in their ... | 2002 | 12148630 |
| agrococcus lahaulensis sp. nov., isolated from a cold desert of the indian himalayas. | the taxonomic position of a lemon-yellow-pigmented actinobacterium, strain k22-21(t), isolated from a soil sample from lahaul-spiti valley in the indian himalayas, was determined using a polyphasic approach. the strain had phenotypic and chemical properties that were consistent with its classification in the genus agrococcus. alignment of the 16s rrna gene sequence of strain k22-21(t) with sequences from agrococcus jenensis dsm 9580(t), agrococcus baldri dsm 14215(t) and agrococcus citreus dsm 1 ... | 2006 | 16902012 |
| gene sequence phylogenies of the family microbacteriaceae. | the type strains of 32 species of 13 genera of the family microbacteriaceae were analysed with respect to gene-coding phylogeny for dna gyrase subunit b (gyrb), rna-polymerase subunit b (rpob), recombinase a (reca), and polyphosphate kinase (ppk). the resulting gene trees were compared with the 16s rrna gene phylogeny of the same strains. the topology of neighbour-joining and maximum parsimony phylogenetic trees, based on nucleic-acid sequences and protein sequences of housekeeping genes, differ ... | 2007 | 17551787 |
| agrococcus carbonis sp. nov., isolated from soil of a coal mine. | an actinobacterial strain, designated g4(t), isolated from a coal mine was subjected to polyphasic taxonomic characterization. cells were gram-stain-positive, yellow-pigmented, non-motile and non-spore-forming cocci. this organism possessed a type b peptidoglycan with diaminobutyric acid as diagnostic diamino acid. the major respiratory quinones were mk-9, mk-10 and mk-11. the major fatty acids were anteiso-c(15 : 0) (41.6 %) and anteiso-c(17 : 0) (32.8 %). the predominant cellular polar lipids ... | 2010 | 20601492 |
| changes in the bacterial community structure and diversity during bamboo retting. | microbial retting is a critical step in obtaining fiber bundles from bamboo culm using indigenous microorganisms. a cultivation-independent technique for monitoring the changes in bacteria community during bamboo retting was applied in this work. this technique involves genetic profiling of pcr-amplified small-subunit rrna and the single-strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) gel analysis of the pcr-amplified 16s rdna fragments. the study revealed that both the structure and the diversity of in ... | 2011 | 21695788 |
