| isobaculum melis gen. nov., sp. nov., a carnobacterium-like organism isolated from the intestine of a badger. | phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on a hitherto undescribed facultatively anaerobic, catalase-negative, gram-positive rod-shaped organism, strain m577-94t, isolated from the small intestine of a dead badger. it resembled carnobacteria in terms of its long-chain cellular fatty acid composition, but differed markedly from the latter in possessing a cell-wall murein based on l-lysine (type l-lys-l-thr-gly). comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing showed that the unknown bacterium repr ... | 2002 | 11837304 |
