| metascardovia criceti gen. nov., sp. nov., from hamster dental plaque. | a novel microorganism, metascardovia criceti gen. nov., sp. nov., was isolated from dental plaque of golden hamsters fed with a high-carbohydrate diet. the three isolated strains, omb104, omb105, and omb107, were gram-positive, facultative anaerobic rods that lacked catalase activity. analyses of the partial 16s rrna and heat-shock protein 60 (hsp60) gene sequences of these isolates indicated that they belonged to the family bifidobacteriaceae. however, in contrast to bifidobacterium, one of the ... | 2007 | 17704637 |
| bombiscardovia coagulans gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family bifidobacteriaceae isolated from the digestive tract of bumblebees. | one hundred and eighty-seven fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase positive strains were isolated from the digestive tract of three different bumblebee species. analyses of the partial 16s rrna gene sequences of the representative strains showed only 92.8% and 92.5% similarity to bifidobacterium coryneforme yit 4092(t) and bifidobacterium indicum jcm 1302(t), 92.2% similarity to alloscardovia omnicolens ccug 18650 and slightly reduced similarity of 91% to other members of the family bifidobacteri ... | 2010 | 20950979 |
