characterization of a temperate actinophage, mpphiwr-1, capable of infecting micromonospora purpurea atcc 15835. | a temperate actinophage was isolated from soil using the gentamicin-producing microorganism, micromonospora purpurea atcc 15835 as host. the characterization of the phage represents the initial step in its development as a cloning vector. the phage isolated, mpphiwr-1, formed red- to purple-pigmented turbid plaques. cells isolated from these plaques were resistant to superinfection with lytic mutants of mpphiwr-1. southern blots of genomic dna from a resistant culture showed that mpphiwr-1 integ ... | 1990 | 1369272 |
production of trehalose phosphorylase by catellatospora ferruginea. | a range of microorganisms was screened for new and high producer strains of trehalose phosphorylase (ec 2.4.1.64). trehalose phosphorylase activity was found in cells of actinomyctes of the genera actinomadura, amycolata, catellatospora, kineosporia, and nocardia. among them, catellatospora ferruginea showed the highest enzyme activity. trehalose phosphorylase from c. ferruginea was able to catalyse both the phosphorolysis of trehalose into beta-glucose 1-phosphate and d-glucose and the synthesi ... | 1995 | 7557309 |
16s ribosomal dna analysis of the genera micromonospora, actinoplanes, catellatospora, catenuloplanes, couchioplanes, dactylosporangium, and pilimelia and emendation of the family micromonosporaceae. | in order to determine the phylogenetic structure of the actinomycete family micromonosporaceae, the 16s ribosomal dna sequences of 17 type species of the genera actinoplanes, dactylosporangium, and pilimelia were compared with the 16s ribosomal dna sequences of species of the genera catellatospora, catenuloplanes, and couchioplanes and with those of species of the genus micromonospora and other actinomycete genera for which the sequences have been previously determined. all genera of the family, ... | 1996 | 8782687 |
purification and characterization of trehalose phosphorylase from catellatospora ferruginea. | trehalose phosphorylase was purified from the cell extracts of catellatospora ferruginea. the enzyme had an apparent molecular weight of 400,000 by gel filtration and 98,000 by sds-page, suggesting that the enzyme was a tetramer. the enzyme was specific for trehalose in phosphorolysis and specific for beta-d-glucose 1-phosphate in synthesis. in addition to d-glucose, d-xylose and d-fucose were also possible sugar acceptors during synthesis. phosphate ions were a key to the activity and stability ... | 1998 | 9614710 |
a phylogenetic analysis of the genus catellatospora based on 16s ribosomal dna sequences, including transfer of catellatospora matsumotoense to the genus micromonospora as micromonospora matsumotoense comb. nov. | phylogenetic studies based on the 16s ribosomal gene sequences showed that members of the genus catellatospora revealed phylogenetic heterogeneity within the family micromonosporaceae as well as a heterogeneous menaquinone composition. among them, catellatospora matsumotoense was closely related to members of the genus micromonospora, indicating that this organism should be excluded from the genus catellatospora. on the basis of classical taxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic evidence, cate ... | 1999 | 10499285 |
catellatospora koreensis sp. nov., a novel actinomycete isolated from a gold-mine cave. | a new actinomycete strain, lm 042t, which was isolated from a gold-mine cave in kongju, republic of korea, is described by phenotypic and genotypic characters. the organism formed short chains of non-motile spores and globose bodies from substrate mycelium. an aerial mycelium was absent. this organism was chemotaxonomically characterized by the presence of meso-diaminopimelic acid, rhamnose, xylose, glucose, mannose and ribose in whole-cell hydrolysates (a type ii cell wall and a variant of suga ... | 2000 | 10843051 |
proposal to transfer catellatospora ferruginea and 'catellatospora ishikariense' to asanoa gen. nov. as asanoa ferruginea comb. nov. and asanoa ishikariensis sp. nov., with emended description of the genus catellatospora. | the taxonomic position of catellatospora ferruginea and 'catellatospora ishikariense' was investigated by phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and physiological characterization. the 16s rdna sequences of the organisms were compared with those of members of the genus catellatospora and other genera of the micromonosporaceae and phylogenetic trees were inferred by using distance-matrix and parsimony methods. the organisms formed a distinct cluster within the radiation of this family that was supported by ... | 2002 | 12054264 |
actinomadura catellatispora sp. nov. and actinomadura glauciflava sp. nov., from a sewage ditch and soil in southern china. | two soil isolates, strains 80-60t and 3.24t, were shown to have chemical and morphological properties consistent with their classification in the genus actinomadura. the almost complete 16s rdna sequences generated for the two organisms were aligned with available sequences of representatives of the genus actinomadura and related taxa. it was apparent from the resultant phylogenetic trees that each of the strains formed a distinct phyletic line within the evolutionary radiation occupied by the g ... | 2003 | 12656165 |
three novel species of the genus catellatospora, catellatospora chokoriensis sp. nov., catellatospora coxensis sp. nov. and catellatospora bangladeshensis sp. nov., and transfer of catellatospora citrea subsp. methionotrophica asano and kawamoto 1988 to catellatospora methionotrophica sp. nov., comb. nov. | three gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, mesophilic strains, designated 2-25(1)t, 2-29(17)t and 2-70(23)t, were isolated from sandy soil from chokoria, cox's bazar, bangladesh. the organisms produce short chains of non-motile spores that emerge singly or in tufts from vegetative hyphae on the surface of agar media. a comparative phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences indicated that the isolates formed a distinct clade within the evolutionary radiation of the family micromonospor ... | 2006 | 16449446 |
transfer of catellatospora koreensis lee et al. 2000 as catelliglobosispora koreensis gen. nov., comb. nov. and catellatospora tsunoense asano et al. 1989 as hamadaea tsunoensis gen. nov., comb. nov., and emended description of the genus catellatospora asano and kawamoto 1986 emend. lee and hah 2002. | a polyphasic taxonomic analysis of all species of the genus catellatospora with validly published names revealed morphological, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic heterogeneity. the type species, catellatospora citrea, and catellatospora methionotrophica, catellatospora chokoriensis, catellatospora coxensis and catellatospora bangladeshensis had similar morphological and chemotaxonomical properties. phylogenetic studies based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that catellatospora koreensis and catella ... | 2008 | 18676486 |
