| corynebacterium ciconiae sp. nov., isolated from the trachea of black storks (ciconia nigra). | eight unidentified gram-positive, rod-shaped organisms were recovered from the tracheas of apparently healthy black storks (ciconia nigra) and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. based on cellular morphology and biochemical criteria the isolates were tentatively assigned to the genus corynebacterium, although three of the organisms did not appear to correspond to any recognized species. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing studies demonstrated that all of the isolates were phylogenetic ... | 2004 | 15545457 |
| description of corynebacterium trachiae sp. nov., isolated from a white stork (ciconia ciconia). | a gram-stain-positive bacterial isolate, strain 280/10(t) was isolated from the trachea of a white stork. the isolate was morphologically rod- to coccoid-shaped, non-motile and showed no oxidase activity. the highest 16s rrna gene sequence similarity was found to the type strain of corynebacterium ciconiae (97.3 % similarity) as the nearest relative of strain 280/10(t), all other 16s rrna gene sequence similarities to type strains of species of the genus corynebacterium were below 94.2 %. strain ... | 2015 | 25479955 |
