| description of 'synergistetes' phyl. nov. and emended description of the phylum 'deferribacteres' and of the family syntrophomonadaceae, phylum 'firmicutes'. | the number of bacterial phyla has greatly increased in the past decade. among them, a candidate division named 'synergistes' was proposed in a phylogenetic study on the global diversity of bacteria. we previously described the genus jonquetella and suggested that it belonged to this not yet well-delineated candidate phylum. 16s rrna gene based-phylogeny studies were conducted using four reconstruction methods and 599 sequences forming five datasets were used in an alternative treeing approach. t ... | 2009 | 19406787 |
| fatty acid-oxidizing consortia along a nutrient gradient in the florida everglades. | the florida everglades is one of the largest freshwater marshes in north america and has been subject to eutrophication for decades. a gradient in p concentrations extends for several kilometers into the interior of the northern regions of the marsh, and the structure and function of soil microbial communities vary along the gradient. in this study, stable isotope probing was employed to investigate the fate of carbon from the fermentation products propionate and butyrate in soils from three sit ... | 2006 | 16597937 |
| pelospora glutarica gen. nov., sp. nov., a glutarate-fermenting, strictly anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium. | the strictly anaerobic, gram-negative, spore-forming bacterium strain wogl3t had been enriched and isolated in mineral medium with glutarate as the sole source of energy and organic carbon. glutarate was fermented to a mixture of butyrate, isobutyrate, co2 and small amounts of acetate. strain wogl3t grew only with the dicarboxylates glutarate, methylsuccinate and succinate. 16s rdna sequence analysis revealed an affiliation of strain wogl3t to the family syntrophomonadaceae. this monophyletic gr ... | 2000 | 10758871 |
