| [new species of bacteria in the genus kurthia--kurthia sibirica sp. nov]. | six aerobic gram-positive nonspore-forming bacterial strains belonging to the kurthia genus were isolated from the magadan (susuman) mammoth found in the permafrost of the east siberia. the strains are a phenotypically homogeneous group different from the two known species (k. zopfii and k. gibsonii) in requiring more vitamins, the absence of growth in a medium with 7% nacl, and a low level of dna-dna hybridization (not more than 45%). moreover, the strains differ from k. zopfii in the synthesis ... | 1986 | 3102908 |
| kurthia huakuii sp. nov., isolated from biogas slurry, and emended description of the genus kurthia. | a novel facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated strain lam0618(t), was isolated from biogas slurry samples collected from the large-scale anaerobic digester of modern farming corporation in hebei province, china. cells of strain lam0618(t) were gram-stain-positive, motile, non-spore-forming and short-rod-shaped. the optimal temperature and ph for growth were 30 °c and 7.0, respectively. the strain did not require nacl for growth but tolerated up to 70 g nacl l(-1). the major fatty acids of ... | 2014 | 24108326 |
| kurthia ruminicola sp. nov., isolated from the rumen contents of a holstein cow. | gram-staining-positive, motile, rod-shaped bacteria, designated as h31022t and h31024 was isolated from rumen contents of a holstein cow. optimum growth occurred at 25°c and ph 7.0 on r2a agar medium. oxidase and catalase activities are positive. the 16s rrna gene sequence (1,452 bp) of the new isolates revealed they belong to the genus kurthia of the phylum firmicutes. highest gene sequence similarities were assessed to be with kurthia massiliensis jc30t (98.4%), kurthia senegalensis jc8et (97. ... | 2018 | 29299848 |
