| passive hemagglutination inhibition test for diagnosis of brown recluse spider bite envenomation. | our goal was to recreate a passive hemagglutination inhibition (phai) test to diagnose brown recluse spider (brs; loxosceles reclusa) bite envenomation for treatment trials. guinea pigs received intradermal injections of concentrated spider venom from the following species: loxosceles reclusa, argiope aurantia, argiope trifasciata, phidippus audax, and lycosa frondicola. skin lesion exudate was collected and tested with the brs venom phai assay. from 51 separate collections of exudate, test sens ... | 1993 | 8403394 |
| frondicola australicus gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from decaying leaf litter from a pine forest. | an aerobic bacterium, designated strain e1hc-02(t), was isolated from the decaying leaf litter of a slash pine forest located in southeast queensland, australia. cells of strain e1hc-02(t) were short irregular rods (0.5-1.0 x 0.2-0.4 microm) which stained gram-positive and possessed a cell-wall ultrastructure which appeared to be made of protein subunits. the novel strain grew optimally in 1 % trypticase soy broth (tsb) at 25 degrees c and at a ph of 9.1. strain e1hc-02(t) metabolized a range of ... | 2007 | 17551025 |
| proposal of frondihabitans gen. nov. to replace the illegitimate genus name frondicola zhang et al. 2007. | the prokaryotic generic name frondicola zhang et al. 2007 is illegitimate because it is a later homonym of a fungal genus name frondicola hyde, 1992 (fungi, ascomycota, sordariomycetes, xylariomycetidae, xylariales, hyponectriaceae) [principle 2 and rule 51b(4) of the bacteriological code (1990 revision)]. it is also questionable whether the genus name can be validly published. therefore, a new genus name, frondihabitans gen. nov., is proposed for this taxon. as a result, a new name is proposed ... | 2009 | 19196793 |
| frondihabitans peucedani sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from rhizosphere soil, and emended description of the genus frondihabitans greene et al. 2009. | a novel actinobacterium, designated rs-15t, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of a plant (peucedanum japonicum thunb.) on mara island, jeju, republic of korea. cells were strictly aerobic, gram-stain-positive, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, non-motile, irregular, short rods. the peptidoglycan in the cell wall was of the b2beta type with ornithine as the diagnostic diamino acid. the major menaquinone was mk-8; small amounts of mk-9 and mk-7 were also present. the polar lipids contained pho ... | 2010 | 19734279 |
| frondihabitans cladoniiphilus sp. nov., a novel actinobacterium of the family microbacteriaceae isolated from the reindeer lichen cladonia arbuscula (wallr.) rabenh. in the austrian alps. | a novel actinobacterium, designated strain caft13(t), was isolated from the thallus of the lichen cladonia arbuscula sampled in the austrian alps (koralpe). the organism was aerobic, with rod-irregular shaped cells, often forming dense clusters of cells when grown in liquid medium, gram-positive, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive and non-motile. it grew at 1°c and at acidic to neutral ph, but not above 30°c or at alkaline ph. the peptidoglycan type was b2ß with ornithine as the diagnostic diam ... | 2011 | 21296927 |
| compostimonas suwonensis gen. nov., sp.nov., isolated from spent mushroom compost. | strain smc46t, a gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacterium, was isolated from spent mushroom compost sample collected in the suwon region, south korea. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis revealed that strain smc46t was a member of the family microbacteriaceae, however, formed an independent branch separate from other genera within the family microbacteriaceae. sequence similarity levels between strain smc46t and other members of the family microbacteriaceae were below 97%, show ... | 2011 | 22140170 |
