Studies on the thermophilic actinomycetes. I. Methods of cultivation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 1,000 isolates of thermophilic actinomycetes representing two genera, Streptomyces and Thermoactinomyces, were studied. Media for cultivation and for physiological studies were designed. Differences between the two genera are noted and taxonomic criteria for the genus Thermoactinomyces are suggested. The importance of the nutritional environment to the thermophilic habit is noted.

Comparison of methods for isolation and enumeration of thermophilic actinomycetes from dust.
Thermophilic actinomycetes are the primary sensitizing agents in farmer's lung disease. We compared dilution pour-plate and spread-plate methods for their usefulness in enumerating thermophilic actinomycetes in moldy silage dust and evaluated the ability of a nonquantitative gravity settling technique to recover thermophilic actinomycetes from moldy silage. Spread plates and pour plates yielded...
متن کاملProduction and Antioxidant Properties of the Ferulic Acid-Rich Destarched Wheat Bran Hydrolysate by Feruloyl Esterases from Thermophilic Actinomycetes
Ferulic acid is present at relatively high concentrations in the cell walls of several plants. Agricultural lignocelluloses are now used as bioresources in industry. This study attempted to increase the free ferulic acid content present in lignocellulose by using thermostable esterase produced from thermophilic actinomycetes to hydrolyze ester bonds. Destarched wheat bran was used as a carbon s...
متن کاملInfluence of mode of storage and drying of fodder on thermophilic actinomycete aerocontamination in dairy farms of the Doubs region of France.
Airborne contamination by thermophilic actinomycetes, micromycetes and Gram negative bacteria was determined on 34 dairy farms and related to fodder drying and storage methods. Eighteen farms had a barn drying system, eight with additional heating; the remaining 16 had traditional fodder storage methods. Three air samples were obtained for each farm with a six stage Andersen sampler. The thermo...
متن کاملThermoactinomyces Tsiklinsky, a genus of thermophilic actinomycetes.
There has been considerable confusion concerning the nature and classification of thermophilic actinomycetes. Beginning with the early studies of Kedzoir (1896), Berestnev (1897), Tsiklinsky (1899), Gilbert (1904), and Miehe (1907), it was recognized that the actinomycetes capable of growing at higher temperatures (50 to 65 C) represent two distinct groups or types: (1) One group produces a tru...
متن کاملBiocatalytic potential of thermophilic bacteria and actinomycetes
Thermophilic organisms have been less explored due to the difficulties in isolation and maintenance of pure culture. Therefore, it remains to explore their diversity and biotechnological potential from majority of the thermal habitats. As a consequence of growth at high temperature and unique macromolecular properties, thermophiles can possess high metabolic rates, physically and chemically sta...
