| enteroactinococcus coprophilus gen. nov., sp. nov., of the family micrococcaceae isolated from panthera tigris amoyensis feces, transfer of yaniella fodinae dhanjal et al. 2011 to the genus enteroactinococcus as enteroactinococcus fodinae comb. nov. | a novel actinobacterium, designated strain yim 100590t, was isolated from panthera tigris amoyensis feces collected from yunnan wild animal park in yunnan province, south-west china. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequence data showed that strain yim 100590t is a member of the family micrococcaceae. its cells were coccoid to oval (0.7-1.5 µm in diameter) singly or in cluster. growth was observed in the temperature range between 10-37°c (optimum 28°c) and ph 7.0-11.0 (optimum ph 8.0 ... | 2012 | 22228667 |
| a new method for dna extraction from feces and hair shafts of the south china tiger (panthera tigris amoyensis). | it is commonly known that tigers (panthera tigris) groom themselves by licking their coats, which leads to an abundance of hairs in their feces. these hairs are designated specially as "fecal hairs". in our study, in order to explore fecal hairs potential as a dna source for genetic analysis, 55 fecal hair samples were collected from 23 captive south china tigers (p. t. amoyensis). according to the amplification of mitochondrial primers loop f and loop r, dna quality of noninvasive samples were ... | 2009 | 19358318 |
| analysis of variable sites between two complete south china tiger (panthera tigris amoyensis) mitochondrial genomes. | in order to investigate the mitochondrial genome of panthera tigris amoyensis, two south china tigers (p25 and p27) were analyzed following 15 cymt-specific primer sets. the entire mtdna sequence was found to be 16,957 bp and 17,001 bp long for p25 and p27 respectively, and this difference in length between p25 and p27 occurred in the number of tandem repeats in the rs-3 segment of the control region. the structural characteristics of complete p. t. amoyensis mitochondrial genomes were also high ... | 2011 | 21110106 |
