| cultivation of uncultured chloroflexi subphyla: significance and ecophysiology of formerly uncultured chloroflexi 'subphylum i' with natural and biotechnological relevance. | cultivation-independent molecular surveys have shown members of the bacterial phylum chloroflexi to be ubiquitous in various natural and artificial ecosystems. among the subphylum-level taxa of the chloroflexi known to date, the formerly uncultured 'subphylum i' had well been recognized as a typical group that contains a number of environmental gene clones with no culture representatives. in order to reveal their ecophysiology, attempts were made over the past decade to domesticate them into lab ... | 2009 | 21566375 |
| anaerolinea thermolimosa sp. nov., levilinea saccharolytica gen. nov., sp. nov. and leptolinea tardivitalis gen. nov., sp. nov., novel filamentous anaerobes, and description of the new classes anaerolineae classis nov. and caldilineae classis nov. in the bacterial phylum chloroflexi. | one thermophilic (strain imo-1(t)) and two mesophilic (strains kibi-1(t) and ymtk-2(t)) non-spore-forming, non-motile, gram-negative, multicellular filamentous micro-organisms, which were previously isolated as members of the tentatively named class 'anaerolineae' of the phylum chloroflexi, were characterized. all isolates were strictly anaerobic micro-organisms. the length of the three filamentous isolates was greater than 100 microm and the width was 0.3-0.4 microm for strain imo-1(t), 0.4-0.5 ... | 2006 | 16738111 |
