| roseibacterium elongatum gen. nov., sp. nov., an aerobic, bacteriochlorophyll-containing bacterium isolated from the west coast of australia. | a novel aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, bacteriochlorophyll-containing bacterium, strain och 323t, was isolated from sand at monkey mia, shark bay, located on the west coast of australia. the cells were gram-negative, non-motile rods of variable length; one or both cell poles was narrower. bacteriochlorophyll a was synthesized under aerobic conditions. catalase, oxidase and urease were produced. the onpg reaction was positive. the major component of the cellular fatty acid was octadecenoic acid (18 ... | 2006 | 16449450 |
| an alphaproteobacterium capable of both aerobic and anaerobic anoxygenic photosynthesis but incapable of photoautotrophy: charonomicrobium ambiphototrophicum, gen. nov., sp. nov. | a facultatively aerobic deep brown coccoid to ovoid bacterium, strain eg17(t), was isolated from a saline effluent stream in the nacl-dominated brine spring system known as east german creek in the province of manitoba, canada. the strain produced bchl a incorporated into a functional reaction center and two light-harvesting complexes with absorption peaks at 802, 850, and 879 nm. eg17(t) is the first reported anoxygenic phototroph capable of photoheterotrophic growth under both oxic and anoxic ... | 2011 | 21308412 |
