| pseudomonas costantinii sp. nov., another causal agent of brown blotch disease, isolated from cultivated mushroom sporophores in finland. | pathogenic bacteria are frequently associated with mushroom sporophores exhibiting brown blotch disease symptoms. these bacteria belong mainly to pseudomonas tolaasii or occasionally to 'pseudomonas reactans'. although a group of isolates originating from some finnish mushroom farms satisfied the two characteristic criteria for diagnosis of infection with p. tolaasii (i.e. yielding a typical brown blotch symptom on agaricus bisporus sporophores and producing a typical white line in agar when str ... | 2002 | 12508856 |
| pseudomonas lurida sp. nov., a fluorescent species associated with the phyllosphere of grasses. | the taxonomic position of a group of fluorescent pseudomonad strains isolated from the phyllosphere of grasses was investigated through a polyphasic approach. riboprinting analysis revealed highly similar patterns for the investigated strains which supported, together with the agreement of many phenotypic characteristics, their affiliation to the same species. a comparison of 16s rrna gene sequences of strain p 513/18(t), a representative strain from the grass isolates, revealed that it was affi ... | 2007 | 17473245 |
| preferential feeding by the ciliates chilodonella and tetrahymena and their effects on bacterial biofilm structure and composition. | protozoa are important components of microbial food webs, but protozoan feeding preferences and their effects in the context of bacterial biofilms are not well understood. the feeding interactions of two contrasting ciliates, the free-swimming filter feeder tetrahymena sp. and the surface-associated predator chilodonella sp, were investigated using biofilm-forming bacteria genetically modified to express fluorescent proteins. according to microscopy, both ciliates readily consumed cells from bot ... | 2011 | 21602372 |
| evaluation of maldi-tof mass spectrometry and maldi biotyper in comparison to 16s rdna sequencing for the identification of bacteria isolated from arctic sea water. | maldi-tof mass spectrometry in association with the maldi biotyper 3.1 software has been evaluated for the identification and classification of 45 arctic bacteria isolated from kandalaksha bay (white sea, russia). the high reliability of this method has been already demonstrated, in clinical microbiology, by a number of studies showing high attribution concordance with other credited analyses. recently, it has been employed also in other branches of microbiology with controversial performance. t ... | 2017 | 28738078 |
