| limnobacter thiooxidans gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel thiosulfate-oxidizing bacterium isolated from freshwater lake sediment. | two novel thiosulfate-oxidizing strains were isolated from sediment of the littoral zone of a freshwater lake (lake chiemsee, bavaria, germany). the new isolates, designated cs-k1 and cs-k2t, were gram-negative, slightly curved rods with pointed ends that were motile by means of single polar flagella. both strains were obligately aerobic and grew on a variety of organic substrates, but not autotrophically. the utilization of thiosulfate led to an increase in the growth yield, indicating that the ... | 2001 | 11491347 |
| molecular analysis of long-term biofilm formation on pvc and cast iron surfaces in drinking water distribution system. | to understand the impacts of different plumbing materials on long-term biofilm formation in water supply system, we analyzed microbial community compositions in the bulk water and biofilms on faucets with two different materials-polyvinyl chloride (pvc) and cast iron, which have been frequently used for more than10 years. pyrosequencing was employed to describe both bacterial and eukaryotic microbial compositions. bacterial communities in the bulk water and biofilm samples were significantly dif ... | 2014 | 25079417 |
| limnobacter litoralis sp. nov., a thiosulfate-oxidizing, heterotrophic bacterium isolated from a volcanic deposit, and emended description of the genus limnobacter. | a gram-negative, aerobic, heterotrophic bacterium, designated kp1-19(t), was isolated from a 22-year-old volcanic deposit at a site lacking vegetation on the island of miyake, japan. strain kp1-19(t) was able to use thiosulfate (optimum concentration 10 mm) as an additional energy source. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis indicated that strain kp1-19(t) was closely related to limnobacter thiooxidans cs-k2(t) within the class betaproteobacteria (97.7 % 16s rrna gene sequence similarity). the cellul ... | 2011 | 20348326 |
