Journal ArticleDOI
Polyphasic taxonomy, a consensus approach to bacterial systematics.
TL;DR: In this review, the practice of polyphasic taxonomy is discussed for four groups of bacteria chosen for their relevance, complexity, or both: the genera Xanthomonas and Campylobacter, the lactic acid bacteria, and the family Comamonadaceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of multiple genomovars of Burkholderia cepacia in cystic fibrosis patients and proposal of Burkholderia multivorans sp. nov.
Peter Vandamme,Barry Holmes,Marc Vancanneyt,Tom Coenye,Bart Hoste,Renata Coopman,Hilde Revets,Sabine Lauwers,Monique Gillis,Karel Kersters,J. R. W. Govan +10 more
TL;DR: An integrated genotypic and phenotypic analysis of 128 strains of the genera Burkholderia, Ralstonia, and Pseudomonas shows that presumed B. cepacia strains isolated from cystic fibrosis patients belong to at least five distinct genomic species, one of which was identified as Burk holderia vietnamiensis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methylotrophic Methylobacterium bacteria nodulate and fix nitrogen in symbiosis with legumes.
Abdourahmane Sy,Eric Giraud,Philippe Jourand,Nelly Garcia,Anne Willems,Philippe de Lajudie,Yves Prin,Marc Neyra,Monique Gillis,Catherine Boivin-Masson,Bernard Dreyfus +10 more
TL;DR: The discovery of a fourth rhizobial branch involving bacteria of the Methylobacterium genus is reported, which is closely related to Bradyrhizobium NodA, suggesting that this gene was acquired by horizontal gene transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Azorhizobium caulinodans gen. nov., sp. nov., a stem-nodulating nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from Sesbania rostrata
TL;DR: The Sesbania stem- and root-nodulating bacterial strains are genuine rhizobia and constitute a separate rRNA subbranch on the Rhodopseudomonas palustris rRNA branch in rRNA superfamily IV.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Determination of Molecular Weight of Bacterial Genome DNA from Renaturation Rates
TL;DR: A new method is described for the determination of the total molecular weight of haploid genome DNA based on initial optical renaturation rate measurements of precisely known concentrations of fragmented DNA that appears to offer advantages by its simplicity, rapidity and reproducibility.
