| butyricimonas synergistica gen. nov., sp. nov. and butyricimonas virosa sp. nov., butyric acid-producing bacteria in the family 'porphyromonadaceae' isolated from rat faeces. | two bacterial strains, designated mt01(t) and mt12(t), isolated from rat faeces were characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach that included analysis of their phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profiles, menaquinone profiles and phylogeny based on 16s rrna gene sequences. the 16s rrna gene sequence analysis showed that these strains were members of the family 'porphyromonadaceae'. the strains shared 94 % 16s rrna gene sequence similarity with each other and wer ... | 2009 | 19542124 |
| usefulness of the hsp60 gene for the identification and classification of gram-negative anaerobic rods. | the hsp60 gene sequences were determined for 121 strains of gram-negative anaerobic rods, including the genera bacteroides, barnesiella, butyricimonas, odoribacter, parabacteroides, paraprevotella, porphyromonas, prevotella and tannerella. the mean pairwise hsp60 gene sequence similarity (73.8-97.1 %) between species in each genus, except for the genus tannerella that comprises one species, was significantly less than that of the 16s rrna gene sequence (88.3-96.3 %). only pairwise hsp60 gene seq ... | 2010 | 20671088 |
| re-assessment of phenotypic identifications of bacteroides putredinis to alistipes species using molecular methods. | alistipes (previously bacteroides) are strictly anaerobic gram-negative rods that resemble the bacteroides fragilis group in that most species are bile-resistant and indole-positive; however, they are only weakly saccharolytic and most species produce light brown pigment only on laked rabbit blood agar. in this retrospective study, we re-identified 18 organisms previously identified phenotypically as "bacteroides putredinis-like", but that did not produce pigment on routine media. the strains we ... | 2011 | 21527349 |
| The influence of the cage system and colonisation of Salmonella Enteritidis on the microbial gut flora of laying hens studied by T-RFLP and 454 pyrosequencing. | In the EU conventional cages for laying hens are forbidden beginning in January 2012, however concerns about a higher transmission rate of Salmonella in alternative cages systems have been raised. The extent to which cage systems may affect the intestinal microbiota of laying hens is not known, and different microbiota may demonstrate different resistance towards colonization with Salmonella. To investigate this, ileal and caecal samples from two experimental studies where laying hens were inocu ... | 2011 | 21859465 |
