| arenibacter gen. nov., new genus of the family flavobacteriaceae and description of a new species, arenibacter latericius sp. nov. | five dark-orange-pigmented, gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, aerobic bacterial strains were isolated from sandy sediment samples collected in the south china sea in the indian ocean, from a holothurian, apostichopus japonicus, in the sea of japan and from a brown alga, chorda filum, from the sea of okhotsk in the pacific ocean. phenotypic data were collected, demonstrating that the bacteria are chemo-organotrophic and require seawater-based media for growth. polar lipids were analysed and ... | 2001 | 11760939 |
| alpha-n-acetylgalactosaminidase from marine bacterium arenibacter latericius kmm 426t removing blood type specificity of a-erythrocytes. | an alpha-n-acetylgalactosaminidase iv able to remove blood type specificity of human a(ii)-erythrocytes and not effecting b(iii)-erythrocytes was isolated from the marine bacterium arenibacter latericius kmm 426t. the alpha-n-acetylgalactosaminidase iv preparation exhibits high activity during inhibition of hemagglutination with blood group substance a containing determinants analogous to a-erythrocytes. the enzyme has a ph optimum from 7.0 to 8.0 and completely retains its activity during 30-mi ... | 2002 | 12126478 |
| comparative analysis of glycoside hydrolases activities from phylogenetically diverse marine bacteria of the genus arenibacter. | a total of 16 marine strains belonging to the genus arenibacter, recovered from diverse microbial communities associated with various marine habitats and collected from different locations, were evaluated in degradation of natural polysaccharides and chromogenic glycosides. most strains were affiliated with five recognized species, and some presented three new species within the genus arenibacter. no strains contained enzymes depolymerizing polysaccharides, but synthesized a wide spectrum of gly ... | 2013 | 23752354 |
| recombinant α-nacetylgalactosaminidase from marine bacterium-modifying a erythrocyte antigens. | a plasmid based on pet-40b was constructed to synthesize recombinant α-n-acetylgalactosaminidase of the marine bacterium arenibacter latericius kmm 426t (α-alnagal) in escherichia coli cells. the yield of α-al- nagal attains 10 mg/ml with activity of 49.7 ± 1.3 u at 16°c, concentration of inductor 2 mm, and cultivation for 12 h. techniques such as anion exchange, metal affinity and gel filtration chromatography to purify α-alnagal were applied. α-alnagal is a homodimer with a molecular weight of ... | 2015 | 25927009 |
