| formosa agariphila sp. nov., a budding bacterium of the family flavobacteriaceae isolated from marine environments, and emended description of the genus formosa. | two marine, heterotrophic, aerobic, yellow-pigmented, agarolytic bacterial strains that are motile by means of gliding were isolated from the green alga acrosiphonia sonderi and from sea water. comparative 16s rrna gene sequence analysis revealed an affiliation between the strains studied and the genus formosa, a member of the family flavobacteriaceae. the level of sequence similarity between strain kmm 3901t and formosa algae kmm 3553t was 99.1 %. the results of dna-dna hybridization experiment ... | 2006 | 16403882 |
| formosa spongicola sp. nov., isolated from the marine sponge hymeniacidon flavia. | a gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic, non-flagellated, oxidase- and catalase-positive, marine bacterium, designated a2(t), was isolated from a marine sponge, hymeniacidon flavia, collected from the coast of jeju island, south korea. phylogenetic analysis based on nearly complete 16s rrna gene sequences revealed that strain a2(t) was a member of the family flavobacteriaceae. its closest relatives were formosa agariphila kmm 3901(t) and formosa algae kmm 3553(t) (96.99 a ... | 2011 | 20228211 |
| formosa arctica sp. nov., isolated from arctic seawater. | a gram-staining-negative, chemoheterotrophic, yellow-pigmented, gliding, catalase- and oxidase-positive, flexirubin-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated strain imcc9485(t), was isolated from a seawater sample collected from the arctic ocean. optimal growth of strain imcc9485(t) was observed at 25 °c, ph 7-8 and in the presence of 1.5-2.5 % nacl. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that strain imcc9485(t) belonged to the genus formosa and was closely related ... | 2014 | 24021725 |
| the genome of the alga-associated marine flavobacterium formosa agariphila kmm 3901t reveals a broad potential for degradation of algal polysaccharides. | in recent years, representatives of the bacteroidetes have been increasingly recognized as specialists for the degradation of macromolecules. formosa constitutes a bacteroidetes genus within the class flavobacteria, and the members of this genus have been found in marine habitats with high levels of organic matter, such as in association with algae, invertebrates, and fecal pellets. here we report on the generation and analysis of the genome of the type strain of formosa agariphila (kmm 3901(t)) ... | 2013 | 23995932 |
| formosa undariae sp. nov., isolated from a reservoir containing the brown algae undaria pinnatifida. | a strain of gram-staining-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated, non-gliding and rod-shaped bacteria, designated ws-my3(t), was isolated from a brown algae reservoir in south korea. strain ws-my3(t) grew optimally at 25 °c, at ph 7.0-8.0 and in the presence of 2.0-3.0 % (w/v) nacl. phylogenetic trees based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that strain ws-my3(t) fell within the cluster comprising the type strains of species of the genus formosa, clustering coherently with the type strains of formosa ... | 2013 | 23749280 |
