| mycobacterium florentinum sp. nov., isolated from humans. | eight mycobacterial strains isolated during an 11 year period from the sputum of independent patients with various pulmonary disorders and, in one case, from a lymph node of a young girl, were found to present identical features. phenotypic and genotypic characteristics revealed that the most closely related species to these test isolates were mycobacterium triplex and mycobacterium lentiflavum. however, the lipids of the cell wall of the test isolates differed from those of the latter species b ... | 2005 | 15879240 |
| mycobacterium stomatepiae sp. nov., a slowly growing, non-chromogenic species isolated from fish. | slowly growing, non-chromogenic mycobacteria were isolated from striped barombi mbo cichlids (stomatepia mariae) maintained at the london zoo aquarium, uk. the isolates could be differentiated from other slowly growing, non-pigmented mycobacteria by a combination of phenotypic features including their inability to grow at 37 degrees c, positive tests for heat-stable catalase, tellurite reduction and arylsulfatase activity, and the absence of urease activity, tween 80 hydrolysis, nitrate reductas ... | 2008 | 19060066 |

| [hydrocarbon-oxidizing potential and the genes for n-alkane biodegradation in a new acidophilic mycobacterial association from sulfur blocks]. | capacity of ag(s10), a new aerobic acidophilic (growing within the ph range from 1.3 to 4.5 with the optimum at 2.0-2.5) bacterial association from sulfur blocks of the astrakhan gas-processing complex (agc), for oxidation of hydrocarbons of various chemical structure was investigated. a broad spectrum of normal (c10-c21) and iso-alkanes, toluene, naphthalene, andphenanthrene, as well as isoprenoids resistant to microbial degradation, pristane and phytane (components of paraffin oil), and 2,2,4, ... | 2015 | 25941716 |
| synovitis of the wrist caused by mycobacterium florentinum. | mycobacterium florentinum is a newly identified, rare, slow-growing species of nontuberculous mycobacteria (ntm). here, we report a case of m. florentinum-induced synovitis of the wrist in an immunocompromised japanese patient. m. florentinum was identified by sequence analysis of the rpob, hsp65, and 16s rrna genes. the m. florentinum strain in this study could not be differentiated from certain m. triplex strains by the hsp65 or 16s rrna sequences alone, because they occasionally shared more t ... | 2014 | 24264693 |
