| quadricoccus australiensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a beta-proteobacterium from activated sludge biomass. | a gram-negative coccus, designated strain ben 117t, was obtained in axenic culture by micromanipulation from an australian activated sludge biomass sample, which had been subjected to chlorination in order to alleviate problems associated with foaming and bulking. this isolate was a strict aerobe and grew in axenic culture, also appearing in biomass samples as cocci or clusters of cocci in tetrads, thus resembling the morphotype 'g-bacteria' seen commonly in activated sludge samples. strain ben ... | 2002 | 11858148 |
| proposal of parvimonas gen. nov. and quatrionicoccus gen. nov. as replacements for the illegitimate, prokaryotic, generic names micromonas murdoch and shah 2000 and quadricoccus maszenan et al. 2002, respectively. | the prokaryotic, generic names micromonas murdoch and shah 2000 and quadricoccus maszenan et al. 2002 are illegitimate* because they are later homonyms of the names micromonas manton and parke 1960 (alga) and quadricoccus fott 1948 (alga). [principle 2, rule 51b(4) of the bacteriological code (1990 revision)]. such names have no claim to be correct names (principle 6) and, therefore, replacement generic names must be proposed (rule 54). | 2006 | 17082417 |
