| two novel species, enterococcus ureasum sp. nov. and enterococcus quebecensis sp. nov., isolated from water. | three enterococcal isolates ccri-16620, ccri-16986(t) and ccri-16985(t) originating from water were characterized using morphological, biochemical and molecular taxonomic methods. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis classified all three strains in the enterococcus faecalis species group. the tree of 16s rrna sequences showed that the three isolates form two distinct clusters. the first cluster is constituted by strains ccri-16620 and ccri-16986(t) and the second cluster by the strain ccri-16985(t). ... | 2011 | 21788227 |
