| victivallis vadensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a sugar-fermenting anaerobe from human faeces. | a novel strictly anaerobic, cellobiose-degrading bacterium, strain cellot, was isolated from a human faecal sample by combining enrichments in liquid and soft-agar basal media. a noteworthy characteristic was its inability to grow on normal agar plates and in roll tubes. the cells were coccus shaped and non-motile, with an extracellular slime layer. growth of strain cellot occurred between 20 and 40degrees c, with optimal growth at 37 degrees c. the ph range for growth was 5-7.5 with an optimum ... | 2003 | 12656175 |
| detection of wwe2-related lentisphaerae by 16s rrna gene sequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization in landfill leachate. | we collected samples of anaerobic landfill leachate from municipal solid waste landfill (vert-le-grand, france) and constructed 16s rrna clone libraries using primers targeting planctomycetes and relatives (pla46f and 1390r). analyses of 16s rrna gene sequences resulted in the abundant representation of wwe2-related lentisphaerae, members of the phylum lentisphaerae, in the clone library (98% of the retrieved sequences). although the sequences that are phylogenetically affiliated with the cultur ... | 2010 | 20962908 |
| genome sequence of victivallis vadensis atcc baa-548, an anaerobic bacterium from the phylum lentisphaerae, isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract. | victivallis vadensis atcc baa-548 represents the first cultured representative from the novel phylum lentisphaerae, a deep-branching bacterial lineage. few cultured bacteria from this phylum are known, and v. vadensis therefore represents an important organism for evolutionary studies. v. vadensis is a strictly anaerobic sugar-fermenting isolate from the human gastrointestinal tract. | 2011 | 21398537 |
| lentisphaera araneosa gen. nov., sp. nov, a transparent exopolymer producing marine bacterium, and the description of a novel bacterial phylum, lentisphaerae. | two phylogenetically distinct marine strains producing transparent exopolymers (tep), designated htcc2155(t) and htcc2160, were cultivated from oregon coast seawater by dilution to extinction in a high throughput culturing format. when cultured in low-nutrient seawater media, these strains copiously produced alcian blue-stainable viscous tep. growing cells were attached to each other by the tep in a three dimensional network. polymerase chain reaction employing 16s rdna primers specific for the ... | 2004 | 15142250 |
