TL;DR: The discovery and cultivation of a completely nitrifying bacterium from the genus Nitrospira, a globally distributed group of nitrite oxidizers, and the genome of this chemolithoautotrophic organism encodes the pathways both for ammonia and nitrite oxidation.

TL;DR: The presence and chain length of mycolic acids of bacteria of the genera Corynebacteria, Rhodococcus, Gordona, Mycobacterium, and Arthrobacter and of coryneform bacteria containing a type B peptidoglycan were related to the cell surface hydrophobicity of the bacteria, which in turn was related to adhesion of the cells to defined surfaces such as Teflon and glass.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that Crenothrix polyspora is a gammaproteobacterium closely related to methanotrophs and capable of oxidizing methane.

TL;DR: Drinking water biofilm communities originated from distribution systems in Hamburg, Berlin, Mainz and Stockholm were subjected to a top-to-bottom in situ analysis with rRNA-targeted, fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide probes including beta1–8, specific for drinking water bacteria within the beta-subclass of Proteobacteria.

TL;DR: Coryneform bacteria that were isolated from biofilters which are used for waste gas treatment of animal-rendering plant emissions were differentiated and partially identified by using chemotaxonomic methods.
