| corynebacterium lipophiloflavum sp. nov. isolated from a patient with bacterial vaginosis. | a unique coryneform bacterium was isolated from a patient with bacterial vaginosis. chemotaxonomical investigations demonstrated that the unknown bacterium belonged to the genus corynebacterium. the yellow-pigmented, slightly lipophilic, oxidative, urea-hydrolyzing bacterium could be phenotypically readily differentiated from the other members of the genus corynebacterium. comparative 16s rrna gene analysis revealed that the bacterium represented a new subline within the genus corynebacterium fo ... | 1997 | 9170265 |
| corynebacterium timonense sp. nov. and corynebacterium massiliense sp. nov., isolated from human blood and human articular hip fluid. | gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from the blood of a patient with endocarditis (strain 5401744t) and from the hip joint fluid of a patient with an infected orthopaedic prosthesis (strain 5402485t). these strains were characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. based on cellular morphology and biochemical criteria the two isolates were tentatively assigned to the genus corynebacterium, although they did not correspond to any recognized species. ... | 2009 | 19567562 |
| discovery, production and modification of five novel lantibiotics using the promiscuous nisin modification machinery. | to find the right conditions to isolate natively expressed antimicrobial peptides from a wide range of different microorganisms can be a challenge. here, we exploited a heterologous expression system to produce and characterize several novel lantibiotics. we identified 54 novel putative class i and class ii lantibiotics after inspecting all publicly available prokaryotic genomes using the in-house developed mining tool bagel3. the genes encoding these new lantibiotics fused to the nisin leader p ... | 2016 | 27294279 |
| corynebacterium gottingense sp. nov., isolated from a clinical patient. | a gram-positive bacterial strain, 99221/2016t, was isolated from blood of a patient with bacteraemia at the institute of medical microbiology, göttingen, germany. the strain was rod-shaped with a palisade arrangement of cells, non-spore-forming, non-lipophilic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. it grew well at 37 °c on columbia blood agar and showed good growth under aerobic, microaerophilic and anaerobic conditions. the colonies were white-cream, circular and convex with a shiny, smooth s ... | 2017 | 28950931 |
