TL;DR: Although the strains described were isolated from lesions and show several characteristics typical of pathogenic staphylococci, such as coagulase, DNase and beta-haemolysin production, the pathogenic significance of the novel species remains unclear.

TL;DR: Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of partial nucleotide sequences of the genes gyrB, rpoB, atpD and infB can be used for classification, identification and phylogenetic analyses of Pantoea strains.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a taxonomic and nomenclatural revision of members of the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex based on data obtained from phylogenetic analysis of 16S-23S rRNA ITS gene sequences,16S- 23S r RNA intergenic spacer (ITS) region sequences and partial endoglucanase (egl) gene sequences and DNA-DNA hybridizations.

TL;DR: Particular strains of L. plantarum, L. fermentum, and A. pasteurianus, originating from the environment, were well adapted to the environmental conditions prevailing during Ghanaian cocoa bean heap fermentation and apparently played a significant role in the cocoa bean fermentation process.

TL;DR: Thirty-four Acetobacter strains were subjected to a polyphasic study that included DNA-DNA hybridizations, DNA base ratio determinations, 16S rDNA sequence analysis and phenotypic characterization.
