| isolation and characterization of soil bacteria that define terriglobus gen. nov., in the phylum acidobacteria. | bacteria in the phylum acidobacteria are widely distributed and abundant in soils, but their ecological roles are poorly understood, owing in part to a paucity of cultured representatives. in a molecular survey of acidobacterial diversity at the michigan state university kellogg biological station long-term ecological research site, 27% of acidobacterial 16s rrna gene clones in a never-tilled, successional plant community belonged to subdivision 1, whose relative abundance varied inversely with ... | 2007 | 17293520 |
| edaphobacter modestus gen. nov., sp. nov., and edaphobacter aggregans sp. nov., acidobacteria isolated from alpine and forest soils. | the phylum acidobacteria is currently represented mostly by environmental 16s rrna gene sequences, and the phylum so far contains only four species with validly published names, holophaga foetida, geothrix fermentans, acidobacterium capsulatum and terriglobus roseus. in the present study, two novel strains of acidobacteria were isolated. high-throughput enrichments were set up with the microdrop technique using an alpine calcareous soil sample and a mixture of polymeric carbon compounds suppleme ... | 2008 | 18450699 |
| granulicella paludicola gen. nov., sp. nov., granulicella pectinivorans sp. nov., granulicella aggregans sp. nov. and granulicella rosea sp. nov., acidophilic, polymer-degrading acidobacteria from sphagnum peat bogs. | five strains of strictly aerobic, heterotrophic bacteria that form pink-red colonies and are capable of hydrolysing pectin, xylan, laminarin, lichenan and starch were isolated from acidic sphagnum peat bogs and were designated ob1010(t), lcbr1, tpb6011(t), tpb6028(t) and tpo1014(t). cells of these isolates were gram-negative, non-motile rods that produced an amorphous extracellular polysaccharide-like substance. old cultures contained spherical bodies of varying sizes, which represent starvation ... | 2010 | 20118293 |
| terriglobus saanensis sp. nov., a novel acidobacterium isolated from tundra soil of northern finland. | two aerobic pink-pigmented bacteria, designated sp1pr4t and sp1pr5 were isolated from tundra soil samples collected from saana fjeld, north-western finland (69°01'n, 20°50'e). cells of both strains were gram-negative, non-motile rods. phylogenetic analysis indicated that the strains belong to the genus terriglobus in the subgroup 1 acidobacteria. the 16s rrna gene sequence similarity with terriglobus roseust was 97.2%. low dna-dna homology (3.1%) to t. roseus indicated that the tundra soil isola ... | 2010 | 21186292 |
| bryocella elongata gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of subdivision 1 of the acidobacteria isolated from a methanotrophic enrichment culture, and emended description of edaphobacter aggregans koch et al. 2008. | an aerobic, pink-pigmented, chemoorganotrophic bacterium, designated strain sn10t, was isolated from a methanotrophic enrichment culture obtained from an acidic sphagnum peat. this isolate was represented by gram-negative, non-motile rods that multiply by normal cell division and form rosettes. strain sn10t is obligately acidophilic, mesophilic bacterium capable of growth at ph values between 3.2 and 6.6 (with an optimum at ph 4.7-5.2) and at temperatures between 6 and 32°c (with an optimum at 2 ... | 2011 | 21551329 |
