| leisingera methylohalidivorans gen. nov., sp. nov., a marine methylotroph that grows on methyl bromide. | a marine methylotroph, designated strain mb2t, was isolated for its ability to grow on methyl bromide as a sole carbon and energy source. methyl chloride and methyl iodide also supported growth, as did methionine and glycine betaine. a limited amount of growth was observed with dimethyl sulfide. growth was also noted with unidentified components of the complex media marine broth 2216, yeast extract and casamino acids. no growth was observed on methylated amines, methanol, formate, acetate, gluco ... | 2002 | 12054249 |
| evidence for the presence of a cmua methyltransferase pathway in novel marine methyl halide-oxidizing bacteria. | marine bacteria that oxidized methyl bromide and methyl chloride were enriched and isolated from seawater samples. six methyl halide-oxidizing enrichments were established from which 13 isolates that grew on methyl bromide and methyl chloride as sole sources of carbon and energy were isolated and maintained. all isolates belonged to three different clades in the roseobacter group of the alpha subdivision of the proteobacteria and were distinct from leisingera methylohalidivorans, the only other ... | 2005 | 15892703 |
| reclassification of roseobacter gallaeciensis ruiz-ponte et al. 1998 as phaeobacter gallaeciensis gen. nov., comb. nov., description of phaeobacter inhibens sp. nov., reclassification of ruegeria algicola (lafay et al. 1995) uchino et al. 1999 as marinovum algicola gen. nov., comb. nov., and emended descriptions of the genera roseobacter, ruegeria and leisingera. | a heterotrophic, antibiotic-producing bacterium, strain t5(t), was isolated from the german wadden sea, located in the southern region of the north sea. sequence analysis of the 16s rrna gene of this strain demonstrated close affiliation with roseobacter gallaeciensis bs107(t) (99 % similarity), but the results of genotypic (dna-dna hybridization and dna g + c content) and phenotypic characterization revealed that strain t5(t) represents a novel species. the novel organism is strictly aerobic, g ... | 2006 | 16738106 |
| phaeobacter daeponensis sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat of the yellow sea in korea. | a gram-negative, motile and egg-shaped bacterium, strain tf-218(t), was isolated from a tidal flat at daepo beach (yellow sea), korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. strain tf-218(t) grew optimally at ph 7.0-8.0 and 37 degrees c in the presence of 2 % (w/v) nacl. it contained q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and c(18 : 1)omega7c and 11-methyl c(18 : 1)omega7c as the major fatty acids. the major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanola ... | 2007 | 17392219 |
| pelagicola litoralis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from coastal water in korea. | a gram-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, club-shaped bacterial strain, designated cl-es2(t), was isolated from coastal water from the east coast of korea. phylogenetic analysis of 16s rrna gene sequences revealed that strain cl-es2(t) was related to the genera phaeobacter (95.0-96.6% similarity to the type strains), leisingera (96.1%) and marinovum (95.6%) in the family rhodobacteraceae. however, strain cl-es2(t) did not form a robust clade with any species of the roseobacter clade, instea ... | 2008 | 18768612 |
| leisingera aquimarina sp. nov., isolated from a marine electroactive biofilm, and emended descriptions of leisingera methylohalidivorans schaefer et al. 2002, phaeobacter daeponensis yoon et al. 2007 and phaeobacter inhibens martens et al. 2006. | strain lmg 24366(t) was isolated from a marine electroactive biofilm grown on a stainless steel cathode (genova, italy) and was investigated by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. this study demonstrated that strain lmg 24366(t) represents a novel species within the genus leisingera, which shared 98.9 % 16s rrna gene similarity with its nearest phylogenetic neighbour, leisingera methylohalidivorans. strain lmg 24366(t) grew on betaine (1 mm) as a sole carbon source, whereas no growth was obse ... | 2008 | 19060059 |
| seohaeicola saemankumensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat. | a gram-negative, non-motile and rod-, oval- or coccoid-shaped bacterial strain, sd-15(t), was isolated from a tidal flat of the yellow sea, korea. the novel strain, which was phylogenetically closely related to the genera phaeobacter, leisingera and marinovum, was studied using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. strain sd-15(t) grew optimally at ph 7.0-8.0 and 30 degrees c in the presence of 2 % (w/v) nacl. it contained q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and c(18 : 1)omega7c and 11-methyl c(18 : 1 ... | 2009 | 19625441 |
