Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of DNA base composition by high performance liquid chromatography of its nuclease P1 hydrolysate.
TL;DR: In this article, a new method for determination of the G+C content of a DNA was developed, in which preparations from 26 bacterial strains and salmon sperm were digested to form 5'-deoxyribonucleotide-monophosphates with nuclease P1 and subjected to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Paracoccus thiocyanatus sp. nov., a new species of thiocyanate-utilizing facultative chemolithotroph, and transfer of Thiobacillus versutus to the genus Paracoccus as Paracoccus versutus comb. nov. with emendation of the genus
TL;DR: DNA-DNA hybridization assays and phenotypic studies indicated that strain THI 011T differed from T. versutus and known species of the genus Paracoccus, and it is proposed that this bacterium is classified into a new species of this genus with the name ParACoccus thiocyanatus sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
A thiocyanate hydrolase of Thiobacillus thioparus. A novel enzyme catalyzing the formation of carbonyl sulfide from thiocyanate.
TL;DR: A thiOCyanate hydrolase that catalyzes the first step in thiocyanate degradation was purified to homogeneity from Thiobacillus thioparus, an obligate chemolithotrophic eubacterium metabolizing thiokyanate to sulfate as an energy source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ubiquinone, Fatty acid and DNA Base Composition Determination as a Guide to the Taxonomy of the Genus Thiobacillus
TL;DR: Facultatively chemolithotrophic thiobacilli had ubiquinones with 10 isoprene units (Q-10) (group I) and had hexadecanoic acid (16:0), [hexadecenoic acid(16:1) + cyclopropane acid of C17 (17cyc)] and [18:1 + 19cyc] as major non-hydroxylated fatty acids
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular fatty acid composition in Pseudomonas species.
TL;DR: Cellular fatty acid composition of 50 strains of the genus Pseudomonas was determined by gas-liquid chromatography and similarity values calculated on the basis of fatty acids exhibited a clear correlation to the taxonomic groups of this genus.
