| pseudacidovorax intermedius gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel nitrogen-fixing betaproteobacterium isolated from soil. | a gram-negative, short rod-shaped, nitrogen-fixing bacterium (cc-21(t)) was isolated from a soil sample collected from the regional agricultural research station in kaohsiung county (taiwan). using 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, it could be clearly demonstrated that this isolate was novel: it showed <97 % similarity to species of the genera acidovorax, alicycliphilus, giesbergeria, simplicispira and diaphorobacter. the organism used several organic acids, but only a few sugars as substrates. t ... | 2008 | 18218955 |
| endophytic bacteria associated with growing shoot tips of banana (musa sp.) cv. grand naine and the affinity of endophytes to the host. | a cultivation-based assessment of endophytic bacteria present in deep-seated shoot tips of banana suckers was made with a view to generate information on the associated organisms, potential endophytic contaminants in tissue-cultured bananas and to assess if the endophytes shared a beneficial relationship with the host. plating the tissue homogenate from the central core of suckers showed colony growth on nutrient agar from just 75% and 42% of the 12 stocks during may and november, respectively ( ... | 2009 | 19633807 |
| [diversity of associated nitrogen-fixing bacteria isolated from the pioneer plants-vetiver zizanioides]. | vetiver zizanioides is a perennial grass of the poaceae family, known of its silage, soil and water conservation role. the aim of the study was to collect and identify the resources of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with vetiver zizanioides. | 2009 | 20112669 |
