| thiorhodococcus minus, gen. nov., sp. nov., a new purple sulfur bacterium isolated from coastal lagoon sediments. | a new marine phototrophic purple sulfur bacterium (strain ce2203) was isolated in pure culture from a man-made coastal lagoon located on the atlantic coast (arcachon bay, france). single cells were coccus-shaped, did not contain gas vesicles, and were highly motile. intracellular photosynthetic membranes were of the vesicular type. bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the normal spirilloxanthin series were present as photosynthetic pigments. hydrogen sulfide, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, a ... | 1997 | 9211709 |
| a new purple sulfur bacterium isolated from a littoral microbial mat, thiorhodococcus drewsii sp. nov. | a new strain of purple sulfur bacterium was isolated from a marine microbial mat sampled in great sippewissett salt marsh at the atlantic coast (woods hole, mass., usa). single cells of strain az1 were coccus-shaped, highly motile by means of a single flagellum, and did not contain gas vesicles. intracellular membranes were of the vesicular type. however, additional concentric membrane structures were present. the photosynthetic pigments were bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the normal s ... | 2003 | 12610722 |
| [seasonal changes in the structure of the anoxygenic phototrophic bacterial community in lake mogilnoe, a relict lake on kil'din island in the barents sea]. | an anaerobic phototrophic bacterial community in lake mogilnoe, a relict lake on kil'din island in the barents sea, was studied in june 1999 and september 2001. irrespective of the season, the upper layer of the anaerobic zone of this lake had a specific species composition of sulfur phototrophic bacteria, which were dominated by the brown-colored green sulfur bacterium chlorobium phaeovibrioides. the maximum number of phototrophic sulfur bacteria was observed in june 1999 at a depth of 9 m, whi ... | 2005 | 16315987 |
| thiorhodococcus mannitoliphagus sp. nov., a purple sulfur bacterium from the white sea. | a novel purple sulfur bacterium, strain ws(t), was isolated from a microbial mat from an estuary of the white sea. individual cells are coccoid shaped, motile by flagella and do not contain gas vesicles. the mean cell diameter is 1.85 mum (range 1.5-2.0 mum). cell suspensions exhibit a purple-violet colour. they contain bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the rhodopinal series as photosynthetic pigments. the novel bacterium is an anoxygenic photoautotroph, using sulfide, thiosulfate, sulfit ... | 2006 | 16902035 |
| two novel species of marine phototrophic gammaproteobacteria: thiorhodococcus bheemlicus sp. nov. and thiorhodococcus kakinadensis sp. nov. | two coccoid phototrophic purple sulfur bacteria were isolated from marine habitats (marine aquaculture pond near bheemli, visakhapatnam and marine tidal waters from a fishing harbour, kakinada) in a medium that contained 3% nacl (w/v). strains ja132t and ja130t are gram-negative, motile cocci with a single flagellum. both have an obligate requirement for nacl. intracellular photosynthetic membranes are of the vesicular type. bacteriochlorophyll a and most probably carotenoids of the spirilloxant ... | 2007 | 17978199 |
| thiorhodococcus modestalkaliphilus sp. nov. a phototrophic gammaproteobacterium from chilika salt water lagoon, india. | a phototrophic gammaproteobacterium designated strain ja395(t) was isolated from a sediment sample collected from the coast of birds' island in the southern sector of chilika lagoon, india. the bacterium is a gram-negative, motile coccus with a single polar flagellum. bacteriochlorophyll a, and lycopene as major carotenoid. c(16:0), c(16:1)omega7c/c(16:1)omega6c and c(18:1)omega7c are the major cellular fatty acids of strain ja395(t). the 16s rrna gene sequence of strain ja395(t) clusters with t ... | 2010 | 20513956 |
