| prolixibacter bellariivorans gen. nov., sp. nov., a sugar-fermenting, psychrotolerant anaerobe of the phylum bacteroidetes, isolated from a marine-sediment fuel cell. | a gram-negative, non-motile, filamentous, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain f2(t)) was isolated from the surface of an electricity-harvesting electrode incubated in marine sediments. strain f2(t) does not contain c-type cytochromes, flexirubin or carotenoids. it is a facultative anaerobe that can ferment sugars by using a mixed acid fermentation pathway and it can grow over a wide range of temperatures (4-42 degrees c). the dna g+c (44.9 mol%) content and chemotaxonomic characteris ... | 2007 | 17392190 |
| sunxiuqinia elliptica gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the phylum bacteroidetes isolated from sediment in a sea cucumber farm. | three novel aerobic, elliptic bacteria, designated dqhs4(t), dqhs8 and dqhs15, were isolated from sediment of a seashore pond for sea cucumber culture in jimo of qingdao, east coast of china. their cells were gram/oxidase/catalase-negative. all strains can grow at temperature 15-42°c, from ph5 to 9 and at nacl concentration between 0.5 and 10 %. dna-dna hybridization experiment revealed high-value (>85 %) relatedness among these three novel isolates and suggested that these strains constituted a ... | 2011 | 21257687 |
