| bacteroides intestinalis sp. nov., isolated from human faeces. | during studies of the microbiota of human faeces, five strains of gram-negative anaerobic rods were isolated following growth in a polyamine-deficient medium. these strains belonged to the genus bacteroides on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence data. 16s rrna gene sequence similarity between one of the strains, 341t, and recognized species within the genus bacteroides was <95 %. the dna g+c content (44 mol%) and major fatty acid composition (anteiso-c(15 : 0), 32.0 %) supported the affiliation ... | 2006 | 16403880 |
| complete genome sequence of bacteroides helcogenes type strain (p 36-108). | bacteroides helcogenes benno et al. 1983 is of interest because of its isolated phylogenetic location and, although it has been found in pig feces and is known to be pathogenic for pigs, occurrence of this bacterium is rare and it does not cause significant damage in intensive animal husbandry. the genome of b. helcogenes p 36-108(t) is already the fifth completed and published type strain genome from the genus bacteroides in the family bacteroidaceae. the 3,998,906 bp long genome with its 3,353 ... | 2011 | 21475586 |
| discovery of β-1,4-d-mannosyl-n-acetyl-d-glucosamine phosphorylase involved in the metabolism of n-glycans. | a gene cluster involved in n-glycan metabolism was identified in the genome of bacteroides thetaiotaomicron vpi-5482. this gene cluster encodes a major facilitator superfamily transporter, a starch utilization system-like transporter consisting of a tonb-dependent oligosaccharide transporter and an outer membrane lipoprotein, four glycoside hydrolases (α-mannosidase, β-n-acetylhexosaminidase, exo-α-sialidase, and endo-β-n-acetylglucosaminidase), and a phosphorylase (bt1033) with unknown function ... | 2013 | 23943617 |
| bacteroides pyogenes sp. nov., bacteroides suis sp. nov., and bacteroides helcogenes sp. nov., new species from abscesses and feces of pigs. | bacteroides pyogenes, bacteroides suis and bacteriodes helcogenes, three new species isolated from abscesses and feces of pigs, are described. they are obligately anaerobic, gram-negative, non-motile, non-pigment-forming, non-spore-forming rods that produce succinic and acetic acids (often with traces of propionic and isovaleric acids) in peptone-yeast-glucose medium and do not grow well in 20% bile. the newly described species are phenotypically similar to strains of b. ruminicola and b. oralis ... | 1983 | 23194738 |
