| reclassification of rhodobium marinum and rhodobium pfennigii as afifella marina gen. nov. comb. nov. and afifella pfennigii comb. nov., a new genus of photoheterotrophic alphaproteobacteria and emended descriptions of rhodobium, rhodobium orientis and rhodobium gokarnense. | the isolation of photoheterotrophic organism c3 from a saline microbial mat led to its taxonomic characterization. strain c3 could be identified as a member of the species rhodobium marinum due to the genetic and phenotypic similarities to the type strain of the species (dsm 2698(t)). as a result of a taxonomic study, it was observed that the currently classified species of the genus formed two separate clades, each of them deserving genus status. rhodobium orientis and rhodobium gokarnense may ... | 2008 | 18774253 |
| tepidamorphus gemmatus gen. nov., sp. nov., a slightly thermophilic member of the alphaproteobacteria. | two isolates, with an optimum growth temperature of about 45-50 degrees c and an optimum ph for growth between 7.5 and 8.5, were recovered from a hot spring in the furnas area on the island of são miguel in the azores. strains form irregular rod-shaped cells are motile and stain gram negative. the cells multiply by budding. these strains are non-pigmented, strictly aerobic, catalase and oxidase positive. these organisms assimilated carbohydrates, organic acids and amino acids. the major fatty ac ... | 2010 | 20116192 |
| Lutibaculum baratangense gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel proteobacterium isolated from a mud volcano, Andamans, India. | A novel Gram-negative, oval to rod shaped, motile bacterium, strain AMV1T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from a mud volcano, Baratang Island, Andamans, India. The predominant fatty acids were C16:0 (5.7%), C18:1 ?7c (78.6 %) and C19:0 cyclo ?8c (6.3%). Strain AMV1T contained ubiquinone 10 (Q-10) as the major respiratory quinone and minor quantities of ubiquinone 9 (Q-9). The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, three uniden ... | 2011 | 22021575 |
