| virgibacillus carmonensis sp. nov., virgibacillus necropolis sp. nov. and virgibacillus picturae sp. nov., three novel species isolated from deteriorated mural paintings, transfer of the species of the genus salibacillus to virgibacillus, as virgibacillus marismortui comb. nov. and virgibacillus salexigens comb. nov., and emended description of the genus virgibacillus. | a group of 13 strains was isolated from samples of biofilm formation on the mural paintings of the servilia tomb (necropolis of carmona, spain) and the saint-catherine chapel (castle at herberstein, austria). the strains were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study, including (gtg)5-pcr, 16s rdna sequence analysis, dna-dna hybridizations, dna base ratio determination, analysis of fatty acids, polar lipids and menaquinones and morphological and biochemical characterization. in a phylogenetic tr ... | 2003 | 12710619 |
| virgibacillus koreensis sp. nov., a novel bacterium from a salt field, and transfer of virgibacillus picturae to the genus oceanobacillus as oceanobacillus picturae comb. nov. with emended descriptions. | a novel virgibacillus strain, bh30097t, was isolated from a salt field near taean-gun on the yellow sea in korea. cells were gram-positive rods and bore ellipsoidal endospores in terminal positions. the optimum ph and temperature for growth of this organism were ph 7 and 25 degrees c, respectively. the main respiratory quinone was mk-7 and the major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-c(15 : 0) and iso-c(16 : 0). analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequence data revealed that the isolate formed an evo ... | 2006 | 16403894 |
| oceanobacillus chironomi sp. nov., a halotolerant and facultatively alkaliphilic species isolated from a chironomid egg mass. | chironomids (diptera; chironomidae) are the most abundant insects in freshwater aquatic habitats. females of the genus chironomus lay egg masses containing hundreds of eggs embedded in a gelatinous matrix. a bacterial strain, designated t3944d(t), was isolated from a chironomid egg mass sampled from a waste-stabilization pond in northern israel and was found to be gram-positive, motile by peritrichous flagella, endospore-forming, halotolerant and facultatively alkaliphilic. comparative 16s rrna ... | 2007 | 17267960 |
| oceanobacillus kapialis sp. nov., from fermented shrimp paste in thailand. | a gram-positive, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic, spore-forming, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain ssk2-2t, was isolated from fermented shrimp paste (ka-pi) produced in thailand. it contained mk-7 as the predominant menaquinone and meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. the isolate grew at 8-43 degrees c, ph 6-9 and in 0.5-24% (w/v) nacl (optimum, 6-14% nacl). the major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-c15:0 and anteiso-c17:0. phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphati ... | 2009 | 19620352 |
