| rhodoglobus vestalii gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel psychrophilic organism isolated from an antarctic dry valley lake. | a novel, psychrophilic, gram-positive bacterium (designated strain lv3t) from a lake near the mcmurdo ice shelf, antarctica, has been isolated and characterized. this organism formed red-pigmented colonies, had an optimal growth temperature of 18 degrees c and grew on a variety of media between -2 and 21 degrees c. scanning electron micrographs of strain lv3t that showed small rods with unusual bulbous protuberances during all phases of growth were of particular interest. the g + c content of th ... | 2003 | 12892115 |
| [terminal oxidases in different genera of the family microbacteriaceae]. | the nature of terminal oxidases in representatives of four different genera of the family microbacteriaceae was studied. it was found that the late-logarithmic and early-stationary cells of all of the investigated strains of the genera plantibacter and okibacterium contain the aa3-type cytochrome oxidase. bacteria of the genera rathayibacter and agreia synthesize three oxidases, the bb3- and aa3-type cytochrome oxidases and nonheme cyanide-resistant oxidase, in proportions dependent on the culti ... | 2003 | 12901002 |
| reclassification of subtercola pratensis behrendt et al. 2002 as agreia pratensis comb. nov. | comparative analysis of 16s rdna sequences revealed a close phylogenetic relationship (99.6 % similarity) between subtercola pratensis behrendt et al. 2002 and agreia bicolorata evtushenko et al. 2001. the two species were found to share genus-specific chemotaxonomic characteristics such as the occurrence of d-ornithine and l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid in the peptidoglycan and the profile of cellular fatty acids and 1,1-dimethoxy-alkanes. dna-dna relatedness of only 47.8 % and differences in phenot ... | 2003 | 14657142 |
| degradation of crude oil by an arctic microbial consortium. | the ability of a psychrotolerant microbial consortium to degrade crude oil at low temperatures was investigated. the enriched arctic microbial community was also tested for its ability to utilize various hydrocarbons, such as long-chain alkanes (n-c24 to n-c34), pristane, (methyl-)naphthalenes, and xylenes, as sole carbon and energy sources. except for o-xylene and methylnaphthalenes, all tested compounds were metabolized under conditions that are typical for contaminated marine liquid sites, na ... | 2005 | 15999222 |
| microcella putealis gen. nov., sp. nov., a gram-positive alkaliphilic bacterium isolated from a nonsaline alkaline groundwater. | three gram-positive bacteria designated cv-2t, cv-40 and ac-30 were isolated from a highly alkaline groundwater environment (ph 11.4). these organisms formed very small rod-shaped cells, are aerobic, non-spore-forming, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, with an optimum growth temperature of 35 degrees c and optimum ph value of growth between 8.5 and 9.0. the strains possessed a novel b-type cell-wall peptidoglycan structure with lysine as the diamino acid; the major respiratory quinones were m ... | 2005 | 16104348 |
| microterricola viridarii gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family microbacteriaceae. | strain kv-677t, a gram-positive, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, was isolated from park soil in tokyo, japan, and characterized. it grew well at 15-30 degrees c on nutrient agar and colonies were pale yellow. the cell-wall peptidoglycan contained diaminobutyric acid, glycine, alanine and glutamic acid and the muramic acid acyl type was acetyl. the predominant menaquinone was mk-12. mycolic acids were not detected. the dna g+c content was 70 mol%. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis revealed t ... | 2008 | 18398212 |
| phycicola gilvus gen. nov., sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from living seaweed. | a gram-positive, aerobic, non-mycelium-forming actinomycete, designated strain ssww-21(t), was isolated from a living seaweed sample on the coast of jeju, republic of korea. cells of the organism were rod-shaped or coccoid depending on culture age. short rods were observed in young cultures, whereas older cultures predominantly consisted of coccoid cells. rod-shaped cells were motile by means of flagella, but coccoid cells were non-motile. budding-like cell division was observed. the temperature ... | 2008 | 18523172 |
| glaciibacter superstes gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family microbacteriaceae isolated from a permafrost ice wedge. | gram-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming, irregular rod-shaped bacteria, designated strains ahu1791(t) and ahu1810, were isolated from a permafrost ice wedge in alaska. cells were motile by means of a polar flagellum. the strains were psychrophilic, growing at -5 to 25 degrees c. phylogenetic analysis of 16s rrna gene sequences indicated that the ice-wedge isolates formed a clade distinct from other genera affiliated with the family microbacteriaceae. the novel strains showed highest levels of ... | 2009 | 19244426 |
