| anaerobic and aerobic degradation of cyanophycin by the denitrifying bacterium pseudomonas alcaligenes strain dip1 and role of three other coisolates in a mixed bacterial consortium. | four bacterial strains were isolated from a cyanophycin granule polypeptide (cgp)-degrading anaerobic consortium, identified by 16s rrna gene sequencing, and assigned to species of the genera pseudomonas, enterococcus, clostridium, and paenibacillus. the consortium member responsible for cgp degradation was assigned as pseudomonas alcaligenes strain dip1. the growth of and cgp degradation by strain dip1 under anaerobic conditions were enhanced but not dependent on the presence of nitrate as an e ... | 2008 | 18424548 |
| biogeochemical characteristics of kuan-tzu-ling, chung-lun and bao-lai hot springs in southern taiwan. | hot springs are the important natural sources of geothermally heated groundwater from the earth's crust. kuan-tzu-ling (ktl), chung-lun (cl) and bao-lai (bl) are well-known hot springs in southern taiwan. fluid and mud (sediments) samples were collected from the eruption points of three hot springs for detailed biogeochemical characterization. the fluid sample displays relatively high concentrations of na(+) and cl(-) compared with k(+), mg(2+), ca(2+), no(2) (-), and so(4) (2-), suggesting a po ... | 2011 | 21879853 |
| clostridium vulturis sp. nov., isolated from the intestine of the cinereous vulture (aegypius monachus). | a gram-stain positive, strict anaerobe, spore-forming, motile rod-shaped bacterial strain with peritrichous flagella, designated ymb-57(t), was isolated from the intestine of a cinereous vulture (aegypius monachus) in korea. strain ymb-57(t) was found to show optimal growth at 37 °c, ph 7.5 and 1.0 % (w/v) nacl. phylogenetic analysis based on the 16s rrna gene sequence showed that strain ymb-57(t) belongs to the genus clostridium and is most closely related to the type strains of clostridium sub ... | 2014 | 25063360 |
| clostridium sulfidigenes sp. nov., a mesophilic, proteolytic, thiosulfate- and sulfur-reducing bacterium isolated from pond sediment. | a novel strictly anaerobic, endospore-forming, rod-shaped, gram-positive bacterium, designated strain sgb2(t), was isolated from a mixed culture from a pond sediment during screening for sulfate-reducing bacteria capable of degrading cyanophycin (cgp). in this study, the taxonomic characterization of this mesophilic, proteolytic clostridium isolate and the role which it, and its phylogenetic relatives, may play in peptide degradation and in the sulfur cycle are reported. strain sgb2(t) was a com ... | 2009 | 19542123 |
| clostridium huakuii sp. nov., an anaerobic, acetogenic bacterium isolated from methanogenic consortia. | a gram-staining-positive, spore-forming, obligately anaerobic, acetogenic bacterium, designated lam1030(t), was isolated from methanogenic consortia enriched from biogas slurry collected from the large-scale anaerobic digester of modern farming corporation in hebei province, china. cells of strain lam1030(t) were motile, straight or spiral-rod-shaped. strain lam1030(t) could utilize glucose, fructose, maltose, galactose, lactose, sucrose, cellobiose, mannitol, pyruvate, succinic acid and tryptop ... | 2014 | 25230767 |
| clostridium punense sp. nov., an obligate anaerobe isolated from healthy human faeces. | an obligately anaerobic, rod-shaped (0.5-1.0 × 2.0-10.0 μm), gram-stain-positive bacterium, occurring mainly singly or in pairs, and designated blpyg-8t, was isolated from faeces of a healthy human volunteer aged 56 years. cells were non-motile. oval, terminal spores were formed that swell the cells. the strain was affiliated with the genus clostridium sensu stricto (clostridium rrna cluster i) as revealed by 16s rrna gene sequence analysis. strain blpyg-8t showed 97.3 to 97.4 % 16s rrna gene se ... | 2015 | 26419229 |
| draft genome sequence of clostridium sulfidigenes 113a isolated from sub-seafloor sediments associated with methane hydrate deposits. | clostridium sulfidigenes 113a is a strictly anaerobic, rod shaped, gram positive bacterium isolated from sub-seafloor sediments associated with methane hydrates. here, we report the first draft genome of c. sulfidigenes strain 113a, which comprises 3,717,420 bp in 96 contigs with the g+c content of 30.1%. a total of 3148 protein coding sequences were predicted. the genome annotation revealed that 113a could play an important role in biogeochemical cycles and have potential biotechnological appli ... | 2015 | 25839753 |
