| propionicimonas paludicola gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel facultatively anaerobic, gram-positive, propionate-producing bacterium isolated from plant residue in irrigated rice-field soil. | two propionate-producing strains (wd(t) and wf) that were isolated anaerobically from plant residue of irrigated rice-field soil in japan were characterized phenotypically and phylogenetically. the growth rate of strain wd(t) was very slow in basal medium, but both growth and propionate production were stimulated significantly by the addition of cyanocobalamin. strain wf grew well in basal medium and produced substantial amounts of fermentation products, including propionate. other phenotypic an ... | 2003 | 14657135 |
| propionicicella superfundia gen. nov., sp. nov., a chlorosolvent-tolerant propionate-forming, facultative anaerobic bacterium isolated from contaminated groundwater. | a novel strain, designated as bl-10(t), was characterized using a polyphasic approach after isolation from groundwater contaminated by a mixture of chlorosolvents that included 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and vinyl chloride. stain bl-10(t) is a facultatively anaerobic bacterium able to ferment glucose to form propionate, acetate, formate, lactate, and succinate. fermentation occurred in the presence of 1,2-dichloroethane and 1,1,2-trichloroethane at concentrations to at least 9.8 ... | 2006 | 16338112 |
| ponticoccus gilvus gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family propionibacteriaceae from seawater. | a novel actinobacterium, designated strain msw-19(t), was isolated from a seawater sample in republic of korea. cells were aerobic, gram-positive, non-endospore-forming, and non-motile cocci. colonies were circular, convex, opaque, and vivid yellow in colour. a phylogenetic tree based on 16s rrna gene sequences exhibited that the organism formed a distinct clade within the radius encompassing representatives of the family propionibacteriaceae. the phylogenetic neighbors were the type strains of ... | 2008 | 18974950 |
| isolation and characterization of actinobacteria ectosymbionts from acromyrmex subterraneus brunneus (hymenoptera, formicidae). | the ectosymbiont actinobacterium pseudonocardia was isolated from the integument of acromyrmex leaf-cutter ants and seems to play a crucial role in maintaining asepsis of the nest. currently, there has been an intensive search for pseudonocardia associated with several attine species, but few studies have indicated that other actinobacteria may be associated with these ants as well. we therefore characterized the culturable actinobacteria community associated with the integument of the fungus-gr ... | 2011 | 20171857 |
| microbial communities and electrochemical performance of titanium-based anodic electrodes in a microbial fuel cell. | four types of titanium (ti)-based electrodes were tested in the same microbial fuel cell (mfc) anodic compartment. their electrochemical performances and the dominant microbial communities of the electrode biofilms were compared. the electrodes were identical in shape, macroscopic surface area, and core material but differed in either surface coating (pt- or ta-coated metal composites) or surface texture (smooth or rough). the mfc was inoculated with electrochemically active, neutrophilic microo ... | 2010 | 21131513 |
