| planifilum fimeticola gen. nov., sp. nov. and planifilum fulgidum sp. nov., novel members of the family 'thermoactinomycetaceae' isolated from compost. | four thermophilic, gram-positive strains, designated h0165(t), 500275(t), c0170 and 700375, were isolated from a composting process in japan. the isolates grew aerobically at about 65 degrees c on a solid medium with formation of substrate mycelia; spores were produced singly along the mycelia. these morphological characters resembled those of some type strains of species belonging to the family 'thermoactinomycetaceae', except that aerial mycelia were not formed. phylogenetic analyses based on ... | 2005 | 16166716 |
| planifilum yunnanense sp. nov., a thermophilic thermoactinomycete isolated from a hot spring. | a thermophilic actinomycete, strain la5(t), was isolated from a hot spring in yunnan province, people's republic of china. the isolate grew aerobically at temperatures of 50-75 degrees c. aerobic mycelia were not observed. single spores were produced along the substrate hypha. strain la5(t) was characterized chemotaxonomically by having mk-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-c(17 : 0) (27.7 %) and c(16 : 0) (22.4 %) as the major fatty acids. the cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. ... | 2007 | 17684270 |
| desmospora activa gen. nov., sp. nov., a thermoactinomycete isolated from sputum of a patient with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis, and emended description of the family thermoactinomycetaceae matsuo et al. 2006. | a novel gram-positive, aerobic, catalase-positive, filamentous micro-organism, designated strain immib l-1269(t), originating from sputum was characterized using phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. it showed cell-wall chemotype iii, phospholipid type pii (with phosphatidylethanolamine as the diagnostic phospholipid) and contained an unsaturated menaquinone with seven isoprene units (mk-7) as the predominant isoprenoid quinone. it synthesized long-chain cellular fatty acids of the straigh ... | 2009 | 19244421 |
| the microbial signature of aerosols produced during the thermophilic phase of composting. | the microbial diversity of bioaerosols released during operational activities at composting plants is poorly understood. identification of bacteria and fungi present in such aerosols is the prerequisite for the definition of microbial indicators that could be used in dispersal and exposure studies. | 2010 | 19602015 |
| calditerricola satsumensis gen. nov., sp. nov. and calditerricola yamamurae sp. nov., extreme thermophiles isolated from a high-temperature compost. | two novel thermophilic micro-organisms, designated ymo81(t) and ymo722(t), were isolated from a high-temperature compost (internal temperature > 95 °c). the isolates were able to grow at 80 °c in a nutrient broth and in a synthetic medium. cells were aerobic, gram-negative rods (0.3 x 4.0 μm). spore formation was not observed. strain ymo81(t) grew at 83 °c and ph 6.9-8.9 and grew optimally at 78 °c and ph 7.5 with 2 % nacl. for growth in a synthetic minimal medium at 70 °c, the vitamins biotin, ... | 2011 | 20400666 |
