| granulosicoccus coccoides sp. nov., isolated from leaves of seagrass (zostera marina). | a non-pigmented, motile, gram-negative bacterium, strain z 271(t), was isolated from the surface of leaves of the seagrass zostera marina which was collected in troitza bay (sea of japan, pacific ocean). the new isolate grew between 5 degrees c and 28 degrees c and was slightly halophilic, tolerating environments containing up to 5 % (w/v) nacl. strain z 271(t) was able to degrade tweens 20, 40 and 80 and partially degrade gelatin, but was unable to degrade casein. phosphatidylethanolamine (36.9 ... | 2010 | 19661498 |
| granulosicoccaceae fam. nov., to include granulosicoccus antarcticus gen. nov., sp. nov., a non-phototrophic, obligately aerobic chemoheterotroph in the order chromatiales, isolated from antarctic seawater. | a gram-negative, motile by tuft flagella, obligately aerobic chemoorganoheterotrophic, sphere-form bacterium, designated imcc3135(t), was isolated from the antarctic surface seawater of king george island, west antarctica. the strain was mesophilic, neutrophilic, and requiring nacl for growth, but neither halophilic nor halotolerant. the 16s rrna gene sequence analysis indicated that the strain was most closely related to genera of the order chromatiales in the class gammaproteobacteria. the mos ... | 2007 | 18062226 |
