| bacillus galliciensis sp. nov., isolated from faeces of wild seahorses (hippocampus guttulatus). | a gram-positive-staining, motile, rod-shaped, endospore-forming bacterium (bflp-1( t)) was isolated from faeces of wild long-snouted seahorses ( hippocampus guttulatus) captured in north-west spain (toralla, galicia). strain bflp-1(t) grew at 10-30 degrees c and ph 5.5-9 (optimally at 20 degrees c and ph 7.2) and with 0-7 % (w/v) nacl (optimally with 2 % nacl). the g+c content of the dna was 48.1 mol%. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that strain bflp-1(t) was a memb ... | 2010 | 19661512 |

| vibrio hippocampi sp. nov., a new species isolated from wild seahorses (hippocampus guttulatus). | a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile and slightly curved rod-shaped bacterium (bflp-4(t)) was isolated from the faeces of wild seahorses (hippocampus guttulatus) captured in northwest spain (toralla, galicia). strain bflp-4(t) grew at 10-35 degrees c and ph 5-9 (optimally at 20 degrees c and ph 7.2) and at salt concentrations in the range 0-7% w/v nacl. the g+c content of the dna was 49.3 mol%. phylogenetic analysis based on the 16s rrna gene sequence showed that strain bflp-4(t) was ... | 2010 | 20402780 |
| vibrio inhibens sp. nov., a novel bacterium with inhibitory activity against vibrio species. | strain bflp-10(t), isolated from faeces of wild long-snouted seahorses (hippocampus guttulatus), is a gram-negative, motile and facultatively anaerobic rod. this bacterium produces inhibitory activity against vibrio species. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that strain bflp-10(t) was a member of the genus vibrio and was most closely related to vibrio owensii (99%), vibrio communis (98.9%), vibrio sagamiensis (98.9%) and vibrio rotiferianus (98.4%). however, multilocu ... | 2012 | 22472571 |
| mycobacterium hippocampi sp. nov., a rapidly growing scotochromogenic species isolated from a seahorse with tail rot. | a gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, non-sporulating, acid-fast, and rod-shaped bacterium (bflp-6(t)), previously isolated from a seahorse (hippocampus guttulatus) with tail rot, was studied using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. growth occurred at 15-35 °c (optimum 25 °c), at ph 5.0-10.0 (optimum ph 7.0) and at nacl concentrations between 0 and 6 % (w/v). the g+c content of dna was 66.7 mol%. the predominant fatty acids were c(18:1) ω9c, c(16:0) and c(16:1) ω6c. a mycolic acid pattern of alpha ... | 2014 | 24801334 |
| oceanibacterium hippocampi gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from cutaneous mucus of wild seahorses (hippocampus guttulatus). | a gram-negative, aerobic, motile and slightly curved rod-shaped bacterium (bflp-8(t)) was isolated from cutaneous mucus of wild long-snouted seahorses (hippocampus guttulatus) captured in northwest spain (toralla, galicia). strain bflp-8(t) grew at 10-35 °c and ph 5-9 (optimally at 25 °c and ph 7.0) and with 1-6 % (w/v) nacl (optimally with 2 % nacl). the predominant respiratory quinone (90 %) was ubiquinone with ten isoprene units (q-10) and the major fatty acids identified were c(18:1) ω7c (54 ... | 2012 | 22453519 |
| phylogenetic characterization and in situ detection of bacterial communities associated with seahorses (hippocampus guttulatus) in captivity. | although there are several studies describing bacteria associated with marine fish, the bacterial composition associated with seahorses has not been extensively investigated since these studies have been restricted to the identification of bacterial pathogens. in this study, the phylogenetic affiliation of seahorse-associated bacteria was assessed by 16s rrna gene sequencing of cloned dna fragments. fluorescence in situ hybridization (fish) was used to confirm the presence of the predominant gro ... | 2010 | 20097027 |
