| [new species of exoparasitic bacteria of the genus micavibrio infecting gram-positive bacteria]. | a new species of exoparasitic bacteria, micavibrio aeruginosavorus sp. nov., was isolated on the host bacterium, pseudomonas aeruginosa. its diagnosis is given. | 1983 | 6420651 |
| [separation of exoparasitic bacteria of the genus micavibrio from the cells and membranes of the host bacterium]. | conditions for separation of micavibrio aeruginosavorus arl-1 from cells and membranes of host-bacteria pseudomonas aeruginosa have been developed. differential centrifugation and ficoll density-gradient centrifugation were applied to purify a mixed culture. a fraction localized in the zone of 12-15% ficoll is a sufficiently homogenous suspension of the exoparasite . it meets requirements of purity of the biomass destined for biochemical investigations. | 1984 | 6428469 |
| structure analysis of a soil community of predatory bacteria using culture-dependent and culture-independent methods reveals a hitherto undetected diversity of bdellovibrio-and-like organisms. | bdellovibrio-and-like organisms (balos) are widespread obligatory predators of other gram-negative bacteria. their detection by culture-dependent methods is complicated as their replication is totally dependent upon the availability of an appropriate prey. because balos do not form numerically dominant groups within microbial communities, non-specific culture-independent tools also generally fail to detect them. we designed sets of 16s rrna primers that specifically target balos. polymerase chai ... | 2006 | 16913926 |
| vulnerability of pathogenic biofilms to micavibrio aeruginosavorus. | the host specificity of the gram-negative exoparasitic predatory bacterium micavibrio aeruginosavorus was examined. m. aeruginosavorus preyed on pseudomonas aeruginosa, as previously reported, as well as burkholderia cepacia, klebsiella pneumoniae, and numerous clinical isolates of these species. in a static assay, a reduction in biofilm biomass was observed as early as 3 hours after exposure to m. aeruginosavorus, and an approximately 100-fold reduction in biofilm cell viability was detected fo ... | 2007 | 17098913 |
| a new alpha-proteobacterial clade of bdellovibrio-like predators: implications for the mitochondrial endosymbiotic theory. | bdellovibrio-and-like organisms (balos) are peculiar, ubiquitous, small-sized, highly motile gram-negative bacteria that are obligatory predators of other bacteria. typically, these predators invade the periplasm of their prey where they grow and replicate. to date, balos constitute two highly diverse families affiliated with the delta-proteobacteria class. in this study, micavibrio spp., a balo lineage of epibiotic predators, were isolated from soil. these bacteria attach to digest and grow at ... | 2006 | 17107559 |
| predation of human pathogens by the predatory bacteria micavibrio aeruginosavorus and bdellovibrio bacteriovorus. | the focus of this study was to evaluate the potential use of the predatory bacteria bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and micavibrio aeruginosavorus to control the pathogens associated with human infection. | 2010 | 21114596 |
| inhibition of predation by bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and micavibrio aeruginosavorus via host cell metabolic activity in the presence of carbohydrates. | bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and micavibrio aeruginosavorus are highly motile gram-negative predatory bacteria with the potential of being used as biocontrol agents or living antibiotics. it was suggested previously that sugar-binding proteins play a role in m. aeruginosavorus and b. bacteriovorus host specificity and predator-prey interactions. the effect of carbohydrates on predation was reexamined in this study. it was demonstrated that the presence of carbohydrates could indeed block predation ... | 2011 | 21317250 |
| genomic insights into an obligate epibiotic bacterial predator: micavibrio aeruginosavorus arl-13. | although bacterial predators play important roles in the dynamics of natural microbial communities, little is known about the molecular mechanism of bacterial predation and the evolution of diverse predatory lifestyles. | 2011 | 21936919 |
| [micavibrio admirandus gen. et sp. nov]. | micavibrio gen. nov. (m.l. fem. n. mica--a tiny thing and m.l. masc. n. vibroia generic name, m.l. masc. n. micavibrio a tiny vibrio). cells are single, small curved rods, in motile stage with a single polar not sheathed flagellum. reproduced by binary division, gram-negative. cells attach to host-bacteria cells and grow as exoparasites destroying the host, may exhibit a host-range specificity. the g + c content of the dna of the strain examined is 57,1% m. isolated from sewage waters. the type ... | 1982 | 7070304 |
