| diversity of grass-associated microbacteriaceae isolated from the phyllosphere and litter layer after mulching the sward; polyphasic characterization of subtercola pratensis sp. nov., curtobacterium herbarum sp. nov. and plantibacter flavus gen. nov., sp. nov. | a representative selection of coryneform bacteria, isolated from the phyllosphere of grasses and the litter layer after mulching the sward, was characterized by a polyphasic approach to clarify their taxonomic position in the family microbacteriaceae, with particular reference to potentially plant-pathogenic bacteria. on the basis of 16s rdna analysis, the isolates can be classified into six genotypes representing the genera curtobacterium, clavibacter, subtercola and a subgroup, which was not a ... | 2002 | 12361245 |
| 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 |
| sugar beet-associated bacterial and fungal communities show a high indigenous antagonistic potential against plant pathogens. | the aim of this study was to analyze microbial communities in/on sugar beet with special focus on antagonists toward plant pathogens. for this purpose, the composition of microorganisms isolated from the rhizosphere, phyllosphere, endorhiza, and endosphere of field-grown sugar beet plants was analyzed by a multiphasic approach at three different plant development stages at six locations in europe. the analysis of microbial communities by single strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) of 16s/18s ... | 2008 | 18060449 |
