| oscillibacter valericigenes gen. nov., sp. nov., a valerate-producing anaerobic bacterium isolated from the alimentary canal of a japanese corbicula clam. | a mesophilic, strictly anaerobic bacterium, strain sjm18-20(t), was isolated from the alimentary canal of a japanese corbicula clam. cells of strain sjm18-20(t) were gram-negative, non-sporulating, straight to slightly curved rods, 2.5-6.0 microm long, and were motile with oscillatory movements by means of peritrichous flagella. cells elongated to 30 microm after prolonged cultivation. optimum growth was observed at 30 degrees c and ph 6.0-6.5. growth occurred below 4.0 % (w/v) nacl. strain sjm1 ... | 2007 | 17684268 |
| proposal to unify clostridium orbiscindens winter et al. 1991 and eubacterium plautii (séguin 1928) hofstad and aasjord 1982, with description of flavonifractor plautii gen. nov., comb. nov., and reassignment of bacteroides capillosus to pseudoflavonifractor capillosus gen. nov., comb. nov. | we isolated several strains from various clinical samples (five samples of blood, four of intra-abdominal pus and one of infected soft tissue) that were anaerobic, motile or non-motile and gram-positive rods. some of the strains formed spores. phylogenetic analysis of the 16s rrna gene sequence showed that these organisms could be placed within clostridial cluster iv as defined by collins et al. [(1994). int j syst bacteriol 44, 812-826] and shared more than 99 % sequence similarity with clostri ... | 2010 | 19654357 |
| dominant and diet-responsive groups of bacteria within the human colonic microbiota. | the populations of dominant species within the human colonic microbiota can potentially be modified by dietary intake with consequences for health. here we examined the influence of precisely controlled diets in 14 overweight men. volunteers were provided successively with a control diet, diets high in resistant starch (rs) or non-starch polysaccharides (nsps) and a reduced carbohydrate weight loss (wl) diet, over 10 weeks. analysis of 16s rrna sequences in stool samples of six volunteers detect ... | 2011 | 20686513 |

| [Specificity comparison of three Feacalibacterium prausnitzii-specific PCR primer pairs]. | To compare the specificity of three 16S rRNA gene-based PCR primer pairs (FPR-1/FPR-2, FPR-2F/Fprau645R and Fprau223F/Fprau420R), which are used to specifically detect and quantify the important human gut bacterium Feacalibacterium prausnitzii. | 2011 | 21866708 |
