Phylogenetic placement of Sarcina ventriculi and Sarcina maxima within group I Clostridium, a possible problem for future revision of the genus Clostridium. Request for an opinion.

چکیده
The 16S rRNA gene sequences of Sarcina ventriculi DSM 286T (T = type strain) and Sarcina maxima DSM 316T were determined. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these two species are closely related to each other and belong to group I Clostridium (sensu Johnson and Francis). The implications of these phylogenetic findings for future revision of the genus Clostridium are discussed.

Studies on Sarcina ventriculi. I. Stock culture method.
Study of Sarcina ventriculi (Zymosarcina ventriculi) has been encumbered by the absence of a satisfactory stock culture method. Smit (1930), as well as Milhaud et al. (1956) reported that transfers of the organism at 1or 2-day intervals were necessary to keep viable cultures. In this paper a method is described in which a viable stock culture may be maintained for a period of 2 months. A brief ...
متن کاملStudies on Sarcina ventriculi. III. Localization of cellulose.
Suringar (1866) and Smit (1930) reported that cell packets of Sarcina ventriculi exhibited a positive cellulose reaction (stained red to purple) when suspended in an aqueous solution containing ZnC12, 12, and KI. These workers believed that cellulose was localized in the cell wall. On the other hand, Delaporte (1957) could not obtain this color reaction and reported that examination of S. ventr...
متن کاملSarcina ventriculi as an Unknown Culprit for Esophageal Stricturing
A 65-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer and a history of Schatzki ring presented with 2 months of progressive dysphagia. Imaging with x-ray fluoroscopy revealed an irregularly short segment stricture at the mid to distal esophagus. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed a benign-appearing stenosis with a single 7-mm nodule at the gastroesophageal junction and non-bleeding gastric ulc...
متن کاملFine structure of Sarcina maxima and Sarcina ventriculi.
The fine structure of Sarcina maxima and S. ventriculi was studied by electron and phase-contrast microscopy. The two organisms differ mainly with respect to their cell surface. A thick cellulose layer present on the cell wall of S. ventriculi was not observed on the surface of S. maxima. Carbon replication indicated that the outer surface of S. ventriculi is rough in contour, probably as the r...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Sarcina ventriculi Strains Isolated from Wild Japanese Macaques in Yakushima Island
We report the draft genome sequences of Sarcina ventriculi strains 14 and 17, both isolated from feces of wild Yakushima macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui). These genomic sequences will be helpful for the phylogenetic consideration of the family Clostridiaceae and understanding of the contribution of intestinal microbiota to the survival of Yakushima macaques.
