| enterococcus aquimarinus sp. nov., isolated from sea water. | two enterococcal strains lmg 16607(t) and lmg 16612 originating from sea water were analysed in a polyphasic taxonomic study. both strains, assigned as enterococcus sp. in the bccm/lmg culture collection, possessed analogous protein profiles, but these were different from all other enterococcal species. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis of one strain showed the highest similarity, 96.9-96.1%, with its closest phylogenetic neighbours enterococcus saccharolyticus, enterococcus sulfureus, enterococcu ... | 2005 | 16166729 |
| Efficient reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline with a biocatalyzed cathode. | Nitrobenzene (NB) is a toxic compound that is often found as a pollutant in the environment. The present removal strategies suffer from high cost or slow conversion rate. Here, we investigated the conversion of NB to aniline (AN), a less toxic endproduct that can easily be mineralized, using a fed-batch bioelectrochemical system with microbially catalyzed cathode. When a voltage of 0.5 V was applied in the presence of glucose, 88.2 ± 0.60% of the supplied NB (0.5 mM) was transformed to AN within ... | 2011 | 21985580 |
| enterococcus alcedinis sp. nov., isolated from common kingfisher (alcedo atthis). | two gram-positive, catalase-negative bacterial strains were isolated from the cloaca of common kingfishers (alcedo atthis). repetitive sequence-based pcr fingerprinting using the (gtg)5 primer grouped these isolates into a single cluster separated from all known enterococcal species. the two strains revealed identical 16s rrna gene sequences placing them within the genus enterococcus with enterococcus aquimarinus lmg 16607(t) as the closest relative (97.14 % similarity). further taxonomic invest ... | 2013 | 23416573 |
| erratum to: two novel species enterococcus lemanii sp. nov. and enterococcus eurekensis sp. nov., isolated from a swine-manure storage pit. | a polyphasic taxonomic study using morphological, biochemical, chemotaxonomic and molecular genetic methods was performed on six strains of an unknown gram-positive, nonspore-forming, facultative anaerobic coccus-shaped bacterium isolated from a swine-manure storage pit. on the basis of 16s rrna, rna polymerase-subunit (rpoa), and the 60-kilodalton chaperonin (cpn60) gene sequence analyses, it was shown that all the isolates were enterococci but formed two separate lines of descent. pairwise 16s ... | 2013 | 23592176 |
| two novel species enterococcus lemanii sp. nov. and enterococcus eurekensis sp. nov., isolated from a swine-manure storage pit. | a polyphasic taxonomic study using morphological, biochemical, chemotaxonomic and molecular genetic methods was performed on six strains of unknown gram-positive, nonspore-forming, facultative anaerobic coccus-shaped bacteria isolated from a swine-manure storage pit. on the basis of the 16s rrna, rna polymerase α-subunit (rpoa) and 60 kda chaperonin (cpn60) gene sequence analyses, it was shown that all the isolates were enterococci but formed two separate lines of descent. pairwise 16s rrna gene ... | 2013 | 22872431 |
| characterization of microbial communities in heavy crude oil from saudi arabia. | the complete mineralization of crude oil into carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds and cellular constituents can be carried out as part of a bioremediation strategy. this involves the transformation of complex organic contaminants into simpler organic compounds by microbial communities, mainly bacteria. a crude oil sample and an oil sludge sample were obtained from saudi aramco oil company and investigated to identify the microbial communities present using pcr-based culture-independent te ... | 2017 | 25705147 |
