| bacillus luciferensis sp. nov., from volcanic soil on candlemas island, south sandwich archipelago. | aerobic, endospore-forming bacteria were found in soil taken from an active fumarole on lucifer hill, candlemas island, south sandwich archipelago. amplified rdna restriction analysis, sds-page, repetitive element primed-pcr (rep-pcr) and routine phenotypic tests suggested that six of the isolates represent a novel taxon, and 16s rdna sequence comparisons support the proposal of a novel species, bacillus luciferensis sp. nov., the type strain of which is strain lmg 18422(t) (= cip 107105(t)). | 2002 | 12508857 |
| bacillus anthracis virulent plasmid px02 genes found in large plasmids of two other bacillus species. | in order to cause the disease anthrax, bacillus anthracis requires two plasmids, px01 and px02, which carry toxin and capsule genes, respectively, that are used as genetic targets in the laboratory detection of the bacterium. clinical, forensic, and environmental samples that test positive by pcr protocols established by the centers for disease control and prevention for b. anthracis are considered to be potentially b. anthracis until confirmed by culture and a secondary battery of tests. we rep ... | 2006 | 16825351 |
| bacillus acidiceler sp. nov., isolated from a forensic specimen, containing bacillus anthracis px02 genes. | research at the center for biological defense identified plasmid-borne forms of bacillus anthracis pxo2 genes in a gram-positive, endospore-forming rod, isolated from a forensic specimen considered a credible threat of harbouring anthrax. conventional, commercial and molecular-based methods indicated that the isolate (cbd 119(t)) was not b. anthracis and considered not to be a member of the bacillus cereus group. based on the 16s rrna gene sequence similarities, strain cbd 119(t) was most closel ... | 2007 | 17766868 |
| draft genome sequence of bacillus luciferensis isolated from soil. | bacillus luciferensis is a gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, motile rod. here, we report the first draft genome sequence, to our knowledge, of a b. luciferensis strain (ch01), which will provide useful information for bacillus and soil bacteria research. | 2016 | 27795273 |
