| taxonomy of antarctic flavobacterium species: description of flavobacterium gillisiae sp. nov., flavobacterium tegetincola sp. nov., and flavobacterium xanthum sp. nov., nom. rev. and reclassification of [flavobacterium] salegens as salegentibacter salegens gen. nov., comb. nov. | 16s rrna phylogenetic analysis of a number of yellow- and orange-pigmented strains isolated from a variety of antarctic habitats including sea ice, lakewater and cyanobacterial mats indicated a close relationship to the genus flavobacterium but distinct from known flavobacterium species. phenotypic properties, dna g+c content and whole-cell fatty acid profiles of the antarctic strains were consistent with those of the genus flavobacterium. dna-dna hybridization analysis indicated the presence of ... | 2000 | 10843045 |
| flavobacterium limicola sp. nov., a psychrophilic, organic-polymer-degrading bacterium isolated from freshwater sediments. | three novel strains of cold-adapted bacteria, st-82t, st-10 and st-92, were isolated from freshwater sediments. these three isolates were very similar to each other in phenotypic and chemotaxonomic traits, as well as in 16s rdna sequence. the strains were gram-negative, elongated filament-like rods that formed bright yellow colonies. they showed neither flexirubin pigments nor gliding motility. the strains were able to hydrolyse casein, gelatin, starch, agar, aesculin, urea, uric acid and tyrosi ... | 2003 | 12710621 |
| a novel, intracellular antifreeze protein in an antarctic bacterium, flavobacterium xanthum. | one strain of antarctic bacteria, flavobacterium xanthum iam12026, has a highly active antifreeze protein (afp) in the intracellular space. the cell-free extract from strain iam12026 after culturing at 4 degree c for 7 days in tsb medium, had activity of 0.04 degree c at a concentration of 0.7 mg/ml. the ice crystals formed do not have distinct facets without typically rounded shape and the changes of their morphology during the course of the thermal hysteresis (th) measurement. the ice crystal ... | 2007 | 17369961 |
