Aquimarina macrocephali sp. nov., isolated from the sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off Kagoshima, Japan.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A novel species was isolated from the sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off Kagoshima, Japan, at a depth of 219 m. The isolated strain, JAMB N27(T), was Gram negative, rod shaped, non-spore forming, strictly aerobic and motile by gliding. It was able to produce isoprenoid quinones MK-6 as major components. The predominant fatty acids of the organisms were iso-C(15:0), iso-C(15:1), C(16:1) and C(17:1). Casein, chitin, gelatin and starch were degraded. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain JAMB N27 (T) represents a separate lineage within the genus Aquimarina. The G+C contents ...

Shewanella coralli sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from Red Sea corals.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A marine bacterial strain, designated fav-2-10-05T, was isolated from the coral mucus layer of the coral Favia sp., collected from the coral reef in the Gulf of Eilat, Israel (29 degrees 51'N, 34 degrees 94'E). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, the isolate was affiliated with the family Shewanellaceae.

Revival and emended description of 'Mycobacterium paraffinicum' (Davis, Chase and Raymond 1956) as Mycobacterium paraffinicum (ex Davis, Chase and Raymond 1956) sp. nov., nom. rev.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The omission of the name 'Mycobacterium paraffinicum' from the 1980 Approved List of Bacterial Names was due to phenotypic confusion surrounding a close relationship with Mycobacterium scrofulaceum. Correspondingly 'M. paraffinicum' strains grew slowly in >7 days, stained acid-alcohol fast, produced yellow-pigmented smooth waxy colonies in the dark at an optimal temperature of 35 degrees C. However 'M. paraffinicum' strains demonstrated no activity for urease, nicotinamidase or pyrazinamidase, and lacked growth at 42 degrees C as compared to M. scrofulaceum. The mycolic acid pattern as determined by high performance...

Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A tangerine-coloured, Gram-positive actinobacterial strain, designated F10T, was isolated from the abdominal epidermis of a sea cucumber, Holothuria edulis, collected in seawater off the coast of Japan. A 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain F10T was a member of the class Actinobacteria and was most closely related to Nitriliruptor alkaliphilus ANL-iso2T (87.4% sequence similarity). Phylogenetic analyses showed that strain F10T represents a novel deep rooted, and distinct phylogenetic lineage within the class Actinobacteria and is clustered with N. alkaliphilus and uncultured bacteria.

Three novel species are described as Rhodotorula rosulata (type strain VKM Y-2962), Rh. silvestris (type strain VKM Y-2971) and Rh. straminea (type strain VKM Y-2964) based on the study of eight isolates from needle litter. The new species, phylogenetically located within the Microbotryomyces, are related to glucuronate-assimilating species of the genus Rhodotorula. Sequencing of the D1/D2 domains of the LSU rDNA and the ITS regions, as well as physiological characterization, revealed their distinct taxonomic positions.

Ogataea pignaliae sp. nov., the teleomorph of Candida pignaliae.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Six ascosporulating Candida pignaliae strains were isolated from epigeal plant parts in Hungary. They share identical D1/D2 LSU rRNA gene sequences with the type strain of C. pignaliae, and the physiological characteristics investigated are also very similar to that of the type strain. The only substantial difference compared to the type strain of C. pignaliae is their ability to assimilate beta-glucosides (cellobiose, salicin and arbutin). The majority of the isolation sources of the strains reported in this study have the common feature of containing tannic acid, while the type strain of C. pignaliae was recovered fr...

A short coccoid- to rod-shaped, motile, mesophilic actinobacterium, strain MSL-22T, was isolated from soil on Bigeum Island, Korea. A polyphasic study was undertaken to establish the taxonomic position of this strain. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain MSL-22T formed an evolutionary lineage within the radiation of the genus Nocardioides. In particular, it formed a monophyletic lineage with Nocardioides jensenii DSM 20641T with which it shares the highest sequence similarity of about 97.3%. However, DNA-DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated that strain MSL-22T is distinct fr...

Phylogeny and differentiation of species of the genus Gluconacetobacter and related taxa based on multilocus sequence analyses of housekeeping genes and reclassification of Acetobacter xylinus subsp. sucrofermentans as Gluconacetobacter sucrofermentans (Toyosaki et al. 1996) comb. nov.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Three housekeeping genes (dnaK, groEL, and rpoB) of strains belonging to the genus Gluconacetobacter (37 strains) or related taxa (38 strains) were sequenced. Reference strains of the fifteen species of the genus Gluconacetobacter were included. Phylogenetic trees generated using these gene sequences confirmed the existence of two phylogenetic groups within the genus Gluconacetobacter. These groups clustered separately in trees constructed using concatenated sequences of the three genes, indicating that the genus Gluconacetobacter should not remain a single genus, and be split up as previously suggested. Multilocus seq...

A Listeria-like strain isolated in Austria from pre-cut lettuce fitted with the description of the genus Listeria although it could not be assigned to any of the known species. Comparison of the rrs gene (coding 16S rRNA) sequence and gene content by DNA-array indicates affiliation to the genus Listeria. Phylogenetic distance with known Listeria species indicates it represents a new species. Since it can be differentiated from all other known species of Listeria by using phenotypic tests, the name Listeria rocourtiae is proposed for the new species.
