| acrocarpospora gen. nov., a new genus of the order actinomycetales. | the taxonomic position of two actinomycete strains isolated from soil was studied. the isolates contained glutamic acid, alanine and meso-diaminopimelic acid as cell-wall amino acids and menaquinone mk-9(h4) and madurose in the whole-cell hydrolysate. phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolates belonged to the family streptosporangiaceae, but not to any known genus, and formed a monophyletic cluster with streptosporangium corrugatum. on the basis of morphological characteristics, phylogenet ... | 2000 | 10843059 |
| isolation of novel bacteria and actinomycetes using soil-extract agar medium. | novel bacteria were discovered using an isolation technique consisting of (i) selection of microorganisms that grew on soil-extract agar medium, but not on conventional media, and (ii) detection of small microbial colonies with a microscope. three bacterial strains thus isolated were provisionally designated shinshu-th1, -th2, -th 3, and five actinomycete strains, shinshu-ms-01, -02, -03, -04, -05, respectively. sequence analysis of their 16s rdna showed that th1 had 95--96% homology with three ... | 2005 | 16233821 |
