| gulosibacter molinativorax gen. nov., sp. nov., a molinate-degrading bacterium, and classification of 'brevibacterium helvolum' dsm 20419 as pseudoclavibacter helvolus gen. nov., sp. nov. | a gram-positive, molinate-degrading bacterium, strain on4(t) (=dsm 13485(t)=lmg 21909(t)), was isolated from a mixed bacterial culture able to mineralize the herbicide molinate. the strain was strictly aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive and non-acid-fast, with a growth temperature of 10-41 degrees c. it contained the major menaquinone mk-9 and a cell-wall peptidoglycan based on d-ornithine. 16s rdna sequence analysis revealed that the strain formed a distinct line of descent in the family m ... | 2004 | 15143025 |
| zimmermannella helvola gen. nov., sp. nov., zimmermannella alba sp. nov., zimmermannella bifida sp. nov., zimmermannella faecalis sp. nov. and leucobacter albus sp. nov., novel members of the family microbacteriaceae. | seven strains of actinobacteria, isolated from soil, wounds, urine, cow faeces, human blood and butter, were characterized by a polyphasic approach to clarify their taxonomic position. on the basis of chemotaxonomy, 16s rrna gene analysis and dna relatedness, strain iam 14851t can be classified within the cluster of the genus leucobacter and is proposed as a novel species, leucobacter albus sp. nov., with strain iam 14851t (=tistr 1515t) as the type strain. the other six strains formed a phyloge ... | 2004 | 15388726 |
| identification of bacteria on the surface of clinically infected and non-infected prosthetic hip joints removed during revision arthroplasties by 16s rrna gene sequencing and by microbiological culture. | it has been postulated that bacteria attached to the surface of prosthetic hip joints can cause localised inflammation, resulting in failure of the replacement joint. however, diagnosis of infection is difficult with traditional microbiological culture methods, and evidence exists that highly fastidious or non-cultivable organisms have a role in implant infections. the purpose of this study was to use culture and culture-independent methods to detect the bacteria present on the surface of prosth ... | 2007 | 17501992 |
| identities of arthrobacter spp. and arthrobacter-like bacteria encountered in human clinical specimens. | after the initial description of arthrobacter spp. isolated from clinical specimens in the mid-1990s, very few further reports on arthrobacter spp. have appeared in the clinical microbiology literature. the aim of the present study was to elucidate the distribution of arthrobacter spp. and arthrobacter-like bacteria encountered in clinical specimens by studying 50 consecutively isolated or received strains of large-colony-forming, whiteish-grayish, non-cheese-like-smelling, nonfermentative gram- ... | 2008 | 18650355 |
| pseudoclavibacter soli sp. nov., a {beta}-glucosidase-producing bacterium. | a gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium, designated strain kp02(t), was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in daejeon, south korea. on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence similarity, this strain was shown to be related to 'pseudoclavibacter alba' nbrc 15616 (95.5 %), 'pseudoclavibacter faecalis' nbrc 15706 (93.9 %), pseudoclavibacter helvolus dsm 20419(t) (93.7 %) and 'pseudoclavibacter bifida' iam 14848 (93.0 %). chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain kp02(t) posses ... | 2009 | 19329616 |
| pseudoclavibacter chungangensis sp. nov., isolated from activated sludge. | the taxonomic position of a gram-positive, non-spore-forming strain, designated cau 59(t), from activated sludge was investigated. colony morphology, biochemical tests and chemotaxonomic investigations revealed that strain cau 59(t) possessed the characteristics of the genus pseudoclavibacter. comparative 16s rrna gene sequence analysis showed sequence divergence values between strain cau 59(t) and other described pseudoclavibacter species of more than 3.6 %, and the strain formed a hitherto-unk ... | 2010 | 19734288 |
| molecular identification of airborne bacteria associated with aerial spraying of bovine slurry waste employing 16s rrna gene pcr and gene sequencing techniques. | polymerase chain reaction amplification of the universal 16s ribosomal rna (rrna) gene was performed on a collection of 38 bacterial isolates, originating from air sampled immediately adjacent to the agricultural spreading of bovine slurry. a total of 16 bacterial genera were identified including both gram-positive and gram-negative genera. gram-positive organisms accounted for 34/38 (89.5%) of total bacterial numbers consisting of 12 genera and included staphylococcus (most common genus isolate ... | 2010 | 20018377 |
| pseudoclavibacter caeni sp. nov., isolated from sludge in a sewage disposal plant. | a gram-positive, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterial strain, designated mj28(t), was isolated from a sludge sample from the daejeon sewage disposal plant in south korea. a polyphasic approach was applied to study the taxonomic position of strain mj28(t). strain mj28(t) showed highest 16s rrna gene sequence similarity to pseudoclavibacter soli kp02(t) (95.2 %). the sequence similarity to other pseudoclavibacter species was less than 94.0 %. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna g ... | 2011 | 21571937 |
| changes in the bacterial community structure and diversity during bamboo retting. | microbial retting is a critical step in obtaining fiber bundles from bamboo culm using indigenous microorganisms. a cultivation-independent technique for monitoring the changes in bacteria community during bamboo retting was applied in this work. this technique involves genetic profiling of pcr-amplified small-subunit rrna and the single-strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) gel analysis of the pcr-amplified 16s rdna fragments. the study revealed that both the structure and the diversity of in ... | 2011 | 21695788 |
