| gillisia myxillae sp. nov., a novel member of the family flavobacteriaceae, isolated from the marine sponge myxilla incrustans. | a yellow-pigmented, gram-negative, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic bacterium (strain ust050418-085(t)) was isolated from the surface of a marine sponge, myxilla incrustans, at friday harbor, wa, usa. the dna g+c content of this strain was 34.6 mol%. the predominant fatty acids were i15 : 0, a15 : 0, i15 : 1, i16 : 0, i17 : 0 3-oh, 17 : 0 2-oh and summed feature 3, comprising i15 : 0 2-oh and/or 16 : 1omega7c (altogether representing 69.0 % of the total fatty acids). mk-6 was the only respiratory qu ... | 2006 | 16902010 |
| inter- and intraspecific variations of bacterial communities associated with marine sponges from san juan island, washington. | this study attempted to assess whether conspecific or congeneric sponges around san juan island, washington, harbor specific bacterial communities. we used a combination of culture-independent dna fingerprinting techniques (terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis [dgge]) and culture-dependent approaches. the results indicated that the bacterial communities in the water column consisted of more diverse bacterial ribotypes than and were drastic ... | 2009 | 19363076 |
| three new metabolites from marine-derived fungi of the genera coniothyrium and microsphaeropsis | the marine sponges ectyplasia perox and myxilla incrustans were investigated for associated fungal strains. among others, a coniothyrium sp., from e. perox, and a microsphaeropsis sp., from m. incrustans, were isolated, cultured, and investigated for their biologically active secondary metabolite contents. the new compound microsphaeropsisin (1) together with the known compounds (r)-mellein (4), (3r,4s)-hydroxymellein (5), (3r,4r)-hydroxymellein (6), and 4, 8-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2h-naphthalen- ... | 1999 | 9917295 |
