| cloacibacillus evryensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel asaccharolytic, mesophilic, amino-acid-degrading bacterium within the phylum 'synergistetes', isolated from an anaerobic sludge digester. | a novel anaerobic, mesophilic, amino-acid-utilizing bacterium, strain 158t, was isolated from an anaerobic digester of a wastewater treatment plant. cells of strain 158t were non-motile, rod-shaped (2.0-3.0 x 0.8-1.0 microm) and stained gram-negative. optimal growth occurred at 37 degrees c and ph 7.0 in an anaerobic basal medium containing 1 % casamino acids. strain 158t fermented arginine, histidine, lysine and serine and showed growth on yeast extract, brain-heart infusion (bhi) medium and tr ... | 2008 | 18768595 |
| phylogeny, diversity and host specialization in the phylum synergistetes with emphasis on strains and clones of human origin. | members of the phylum synergistetes have been demonstrated in several environmental ecosystems and mammalian microflorae by culture-independent methods. in the past few years, the clinical relevance of some uncultivated phylotypes has been demonstrated in endodontic infections, and uncultured synergistetes have been demonstrated in human mouth, gut and skin microbiota. however, synergistetes are rarely cultured from human samples, and only 17 isolates are currently reported. twelve members of sy ... | 2010 | 20079831 |
