Using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, it could be clearly demonstrated that this isolate was novel: it showed {\textless}97 \% similarity to species of the genera Acidovorax, Alicycliphilus, Giesbergeria, Simplicispira and Diaphorobacter. The organism used several organic acids, but only a few sugars as substrates. The fatty acid profile differed from those reported for members of the genera Acidovorax, Alicycliphilus, Giesbergeria, Simplicispira and Diaphorobacter.

On the basis of 16S rRNA (rrs) and recA gene sequence similarities, both isolates were allocated to the genus Brucella. Affiliation to Brucella was confirmed by DNA-DNA hybridization studies. Both strains reacted equally with Brucella M-monospecific antiserum and were lysed by the bacteriophages Tb, Wb, F1 and F25. Biochemical profiling revealed a high degree of enzyme activity and metabolic capabilities not observed in other Brucella species. The omp2a and omp2b genes of isolates CCM 4915(T) and CCM 4916 were indistinguishable. Whereas omp2a was identical to omp2a of brucellae from certain pinniped marine mammals, omp2b clustered with omp2b of terrestrial brucellae. Analysis of the bp26 gene downstream region identified strains CCM 4915(T) and CCM 4916 as Brucella of terrestrial origin. Both strains harboured five to six copies of the insertion element IS711, displaying a unique banding pattern as determined by Southern blotting. In comparative multilocus VNTR (variable-number tandem-repeat) analysis (MLVA) with 296 different genotypes, the two isolates grouped together, but formed a separate cluster within the genus Brucella. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis using nine different loci also placed the two isolates separately from other brucellae. In the IS711-based AMOS PCR, a 1900 bp fragment was generated with the Brucella ovis-specific primers, revealing that the insertion element had integrated between a putative membrane protein and cboL, encoding a methyltransferase, an integration site not observed in other brucellae. Isolates CCM 4915(T) and CCM 4916 could be clearly distinguished from all known Brucella species and their biovars by means of both their phenotypic and molecular properties, and therefore represent a novel species within the genus Brucella, for which the name Brucella microti sp. nov. with the type strain CCM 4915(T) (=BCCN 07-01(T)=CAPM 6434(T)) is proposed.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/21cdb5536f69cc573a585f7be391b6c81/recymikrobiorecymikrobio2008-05-07T16:02:45+02:00Phylogeny Ribosomal Oxalobacteraceae Molecular_Sequence_Data Pseudomonas Fatty_Acids Bacterial_Typing_Techniques Sequence_Analysis Phenotype rRNA Genes 16S RNA IFZ DNA <span style="color:#555555;">Peter <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Kämpfer">K&#228;mpfer</a> und Enevold <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Falsen">Falsen</a> und Hans-J&#252;rgen <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Busse">Busse</a> </span><em>International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology</em>(<em>2008</em>) <em>PMID: 18175698 . </em>Wed May 07 16:02:45 CEST 2008International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiologyPMID: 18175698136-8Reclassification of Pseudomonas mephitica Claydon and Hammer 1939 as a later heterotypic synonym of Janthinobacterium lividum (Eisenberg 1891) De Ley et al. 1978582008Phylogeny Ribosomal Oxalobacteraceae Molecular_Sequence_Data Pseudomonas Fatty_Acids Bacterial_Typing_Techniques Sequence_Analysis Phenotype rRNA Genes 16S RNA IFZ DNA Pseudomonas mephitica CCUG 2513(T) has been reinvestigated to clarify its taxonomic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons demonstrated that this strain clusters phylogenetically closely with Janthinobacterium lividum (99.8\% sequence similarity to the type strain).

The two strains displayed different fingerprints after PCR analysis using the repetitive primers BOX, ERIC and REP. Strain 3-2W4(T) did not degrade microcystin, which is a characteristic trait of Sphingosinicella microcystinivorans Y2(T). Like Sphingosinicella microcystinivorans Y2(T), strain 3-2W4(T) had the following characteristics: fatty acids comprising mainly C(18 : 1)omega7c, summed feature 3 (C(16 : 1)omega7c and/or iso-C(15 : 0) 2-OH) and C(16 : 0), the presence of ubiquinone Q-10 and sym-homospermidine as the predominant polyamine compound. The polar lipid profiles of the two strains were almost identical, consisting of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and sphingoglycolipid. Strain 3-2W4(T) and Sphingosinicella microcystinivorans Y2(T) utilized the beta-peptides H-betahVal-betahAla-betahLeu-OH and H-betahAla-betahLeu-OH as sole carbon and energy sources and shared beta-peptidyl aminopeptidase activity in common, which distinguishes them from Sphingomonas and Sphingopyxis type strains. On the basis of these results, strain 3-2W4(T) represents a novel species of the genus Sphingosinicella, for which the name Sphingosinicella xenopeptidilytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 3-2W4(T) (=DSM 17130(T)=CCUG 52537(T)). The descriptions of the genus Sphingosinicella and the species Sphingosinicella microcystinivorans are emended.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2b18ebe5d69e7ca24e4e27c29a7d7a05b/recymikrobiorecymikrobio2008-05-07T16:02:06+02:00Ribosomal Phylogeny Taiwan Molecular_Sequence_Data Fatty_Acids Sequence_Homology Bacterial_Typing_Techniques Sequence_Analysis rRNA Soil_Microbiology Genes 16S RNA IFZ Petroleum Ubiquinone DNA Bacterial Xanthomonadaceae Nucleic_Acid Phospholipids <span style="color:#555555;">Chiu-Chung <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Young">Young</a> und Peter <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Kämpfer">K&#228;mpfer</a> und Mann-Jing <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Ho">Ho</a> und Hans-J&#252;rgen <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Busse">Busse</a> und Birgit E <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Huber">Huber</a> und A B <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Arun">Arun</a> und Fo-Ting <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Shen">Shen</a> und Wei-An <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Lai">Lai</a> und P D <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Rekha">Rekha</a> </span><em>International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology</em><em>December2007. </em><em>PMID: 18048725 . </em>Wed May 07 16:02:06 CEST 2008International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiologyDecemberPMID: 180487252790-3Arenimonas malthae sp. nov., a gammaproteobacterium isolated from an oil-contaminated site572007Ribosomal Phylogeny Taiwan Molecular_Sequence_Data Fatty_Acids Sequence_Homology Bacterial_Typing_Techniques Sequence_Analysis rRNA Soil_Microbiology Genes 16S RNA IFZ Petroleum Ubiquinone DNA Bacterial Xanthomonadaceae Nucleic_Acid Phospholipids A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium (CC-JY-1(T)) was isolated on nutrient agar from a soil sample collected from an oil-contaminated site located in Chyai county, Taiwan. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that this isolate is unique, showing 96.7 \% sequence similarity to the type strain of Arenimonas donghaensis and similarities of 93.0-93.8 \% to species of the genera Thermomonas, Lysobacter and Silanimonas.

B13(T), isolated as a 3-chlorobenzoate-degrading organism and used for several groundbreaking studies on the enzymology and genetics of the degradative pathway for haloaromatic compounds, was studied in detail. The previously performed physiological studies, the detection of ubiquinone Q-9, the polyamine pattern with putrescine and spermidine as major polyamines, a fatty acid profile with C(18 : 1)omega7c, summed feature 3 and C(16 : 0) as quantitatively the most important constituents and the 16S rRNA gene sequence demonstrated that Pseudomonas sp. B13(T) indeed belongs to the genus Pseudomonas. The sequence of the Pseudomonas sp. B13(T) 16S rRNA gene demonstrated a high degree of similarity with that of Pseudomonas citronellolis DSM 50332(T) (98.9 \%), Pseudomonas nitroreducens DSM 14399(T) (98.7 \%), Pseudomonas jinjuensis DSM 16612(T) (98.1 \%) and Pseudomonas multiresinivorans DSM 17553(T) (98.7 \%). Thus it was shown that strain Pseudomonas sp. B13(T) can be distinguished from related species by the ability/inability to assimilate N-acetylgalactosamine, d-galactose, putrescine, trans-aconitate and mesaconate and some differences in the fatty acid profile. The positioning of Pseudomonas sp. B13(T) as a separate taxon was finally verified by DNA hybridization, which demonstrated less than 45 \% DNA-DNA similarity between strain Pseudomonas sp. B13(T) and the reference strains. On the basis of these results, Pseudomonas sp. B13(T) represents a novel species for which the name Pseudomonas knackmussii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is B13(T) (=DSM 6978(T)=LMG 23759(T)).http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/27b374ce6fa0956adf4570c0f820525ac/recymikrobiorecymikrobio2008-05-07T16:02:06+02:00Ribosomal Gram-Negative_Bacterial_Infections Humans Molecular_Sequence_Data Ochrobactrum Bacterial_Typing_Techniques Sequence_Analysis Genotype rRNA Genes 16S RNA IFZ DNA Bacterial <span style="color:#555555;">Peter <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Kämpfer">K&#228;mpfer</a> und Diane M <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Citron">Citron</a> und Ellie J C <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Goldstein">Goldstein</a> und Holger C <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Scholz">Scholz</a> </span><em>Journal of medical microbiology</em><em>November2007. </em><em>PMID: 17965364 . </em>Wed May 07 16:02:06 CEST 2008Journal of medical microbiologyNovemberPMID: 179653641571-3Difficulty in the identification and differentiation of clinically relevant Ochrobactrum species562007Ribosomal Gram-Negative_Bacterial_Infections Humans Molecular_Sequence_Data Ochrobactrum Bacterial_Typing_Techniques Sequence_Analysis Genotype rRNA Genes 16S RNA IFZ DNA Bacterial http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2cd4765ea013d2a753eb4ae4bced9fe3b/recymikrobiorecymikrobio2008-05-07T16:02:06+02:00Ribosomal Phylogeny Animals Symbiosis Rhizobiaceae Sinorhizobium Molecular_Sequence_Data Digestive_System Fatty_Acids Soil_Microbiology 16S RNA IFZ DNA Plants Bacterial Isoptera <span style="color:#555555;">J&#252;rgen <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Fröhlich">Fr&#246;hlich</a> und Christine <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Koustiane">Koustiane</a> und Peter <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Kämpfer">K&#228;mpfer</a> und Ram&#243;n <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Rosselló-Mora">Rossell&#243;-Mora</a> und Maria <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Valens">Valens</a> und Manfred <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Berchtold">Berchtold</a> und Thomas <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Kuhnigk">Kuhnigk</a> und Horst <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Hertel">Hertel</a> und Dinesh K <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Maheshwari">Maheshwari</a> und Helmut <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/König">K&#246;nig</a> </span><em>Systematic and applied microbiology</em>(<em>2007</em>) <em>PMID: 16584862 . </em>Wed May 07 16:02:06 CEST 2008Systematic and applied microbiologyPMID: 1658486268-74Occurrence of rhizobia in the gut of the higher termite Nasutitermes nigriceps302007Ribosomal Phylogeny Animals Symbiosis Rhizobiaceae Sinorhizobium Molecular_Sequence_Data Digestive_System Fatty_Acids Soil_Microbiology 16S RNA IFZ DNA Plants Bacterial Isoptera Wood-eating termites feed on a diet highly deficient in nitrogen. They must complement their diet with the aid of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Nitrogen fixation in the gut has been demonstrated, but information about nitrogen-fixing bacteria in pure culture is scarce. From the higher termite Nasutitermes nigriceps the symbiotic bacterial strain M3A was isolated, which thrives in the hindgut contents. The Gram-negative strain exhibited similarities to the species of the genus Ensifer (including Sinorhizobium) on the basis of morphological and physiological/biochemical features. The 16S rRNA gene analysis showed the highest sequence similarity of the isolate M3A to Ensifer adhaerens ({\textgreater}99\%; ATCC 33499). The DNA-DNA hybridization revealed a similarity of 66\% with E. adhaerens (NCIMB12342(T)). In contrast to the type strain the isolate M3A possesses the capacity to nodulate plant roots. This is the first report on the detailed identification of a rhizobia-related strain from the intestinal tract of animals. Strain M3A has been deposited with two culture collections (DSM10169; ATCC BAA-396).http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/20fe54ca8175b0f57fef5bb64b22bc698/recymikrobiorecymikrobio2008-05-07T16:02:06+02:00Ribosomal Phylogeny Equipment_Contamination Chromatography Lipids Molecular_Sequence_Data Humidity Sequence_Homology Thin_Layer Bacterial_Typing_Techniques Sequence_Analysis rRNA Sphingomonas Genes RNA 16S IFZ Pigments Ubiquinone Biological DNA Bacterial Nucleic_Acid <span style="color:#555555;">Peter <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Kämpfer">K&#228;mpfer</a> und Uwe <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Meurer">Meurer</a> und Michael <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Esser">Esser</a> und Thomas <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Hirsch">Hirsch</a> und Hans-J&#252;rgen <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Busse">Busse</a> </span><em>International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology</em><em>June2007. </em><em>PMID: 17551055 . </em>Wed May 07 16:02:06 CEST 2008International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiologyJunePMID: 175510551342-5Sphingomonas pseudosanguinis sp. nov., isolated from the water reservoir of an air humidifier572007Ribosomal Phylogeny Equipment_Contamination Chromatography Lipids Molecular_Sequence_Data Humidity Sequence_Homology Thin_Layer Bacterial_Typing_Techniques Sequence_Analysis rRNA Sphingomonas Genes RNA 16S IFZ Pigments Ubiquinone Biological DNA Bacterial Nucleic_Acid A yellow-pigmented bacterial isolate, strain G1-2(T), obtained from the surface of an air humidifier, was characterized taxonomically. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, physiological characterization and estimation of the ubiquinone and polar lipid patterns and fatty acid composition revealed that strain G1-2(T) was similar to Sphingomonas yabuuchiae and Sphingomonas sanguinis, but also showed pronounced differences.

The two strains also shared a relatively low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (96.8 \%). Although phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities clearly showed that the two organisms formed a separate branch, their phenotypes (including chemotaxonomic features) were hardly distinguishable and showed high similarities to those reported for the most closely related genera. On the basis of DNA-DNA hybridization results, the two strains were shown to represent separate species (sharing only 20 \% DNA-DNA relatedness), but they could not be clearly differentiated phenotypically from each other. It is evident that these organisms represent a new genus, Undibacterium gen. nov., with one species, Undibacterium pigrum sp. nov. The type strain of Undibacterium pigrum is strain CCUG 49009(T) (=CIP 109318(T)).

Strain GW4-1778(T) could be distinguished from any other established Nocardia species by sequence similarity values of less than 97.5 \%. Strain GW4-1778(T) exhibited a quinone system with the predominant compound MK-8 (H(4), omega-cycl) (99.5 \%) and traces of MK-8 (H(4)), characteristic for the genus Nocardia. The polar lipid profile of strain GW4-1778(T) consisted of the predominant compound diphosphatidylglycerol, moderate amounts of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, two phosphatidylinositol mannosides, a unknown polar lipid and trace amounts of two unknown lipids and the major fatty acids were C(15 : 0), C(16 : 0), C(17 : 1)omega8c and 10-methyl C(17 : 0).
