Journal ArticleDOI

Nocardia caishijiensis sp. nov., a novel soil actinomycete.

TL;DR: A soil isolate, strain F829T, which had provisionally been assigned to the genus Nocardia, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study and showed a combination of phenotypic properties typical of nocardiae and formed a distinct phyletic line within the evolutionary radiation of species of the genusNocardia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biosynthetic investigations of lactonamycin and lactonamycin z: cloning of the biosynthetic gene clusters and discovery of an unusual starter unit.

TL;DR: Results confirm the identity of the genetic locus cloned from S. sanglieri and indicate that the highly similar locus in S. rishiriensis encodes lactonamycin biosynthetic genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rhodococcus maanshanensis sp. nov., a novel actinomycete from soil.

TL;DR: A polyphasic study was undertaken to establish the taxonomic position of a soil isolate that had provisionally been assigned to the genus Rhodococcus, and the organism showed a combination of phenotypic properties typical of rhodococci and formed a distinct phyletic line within the Rhodococci erythropolis 165 rDNA subclade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Insights Into Plant-Growth-Promoting Potentialities of the Genus Frankia.

TL;DR: In silico genome analyses provide an insight into the PGP abilities of Frankia strains of known taxonomic provenance and the discovery of additional genes in the biosynthetic gene cluster involved in cytokinin production opens up the prospect that Frankia may have novel molecular mechanisms for cytokinIn biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A rapid screening procedure for staphylococcal plasmids

TL;DR: The method will detect plasmids in strains grown on various types of solid or liquid culture media and is convenient enough for routine epidemiological studies.
