Physiological versatility of the genus Rhodocista.

چکیده
A new purple bacterium (strain T4), capable of heterotrophic aerobic and phototrophic anaerobic growth, was isolated from waste water of a noodle factory near Hanoi, Vietnam. A comparison of 16S rDNA sequences revealed its association with the genus Rhodocista. The isolate, tentatively named "Rhodocista hanoiensis", forms cysts after growth on butyrate-containing plates at 42 degrees C. The vegetative cells form short (under aerobic conditions) or long curve-shaped rods. In contrast to other species of this genus T4 does not need any supplines (growth factors, not synthesized by the organisms). Comparative studies of T4 with Rhodocista centenaria (Rhodospirillum centenum) and Rhodocista pekingensis revealed a remarkable physiological versatility regarding nutrient spectra and survival properties of this genus.

Design and application of new 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes for the Azospirillum-Skermanella-Rhodocista-cluster.
The genera Azospirillum, Skermanella and Rhodocista form a phylogenetic subgroup within the alfa subclass of Proteobacteria. Based on comparative 16S rRNA sequence analysis a nested set of new oligonucleotide probes was designed. It comprises probes for the whole genus cluster Azospirillum-Skermanella-Rhodocista, for the Azospirilli subcluster I including A. lipoferum, A. doebereinerae, A. larg...
متن کاملRhodocista pekingensis sp. nov., a cyst-forming phototrophic bacterium from a municipal wastewater treatment plant.
A novel bacterial species, Rhodocista pekingensis sp. nov., was isolated from a municipal wastewater treatment plant and characterized by polyphasic taxonomy. Cells of R. pekingensis were gram-negative, motile by a single polar flagellum, vibrioid to spiral, 0.6-0.8 microm in width and 0.8-1.5 microm in length. R-bodies were not observed. Phototrophically grown cells contained lamellar photosyn...
متن کاملVersatility of V-Y Flap in Gluteal Area
BACKGROUND Lesions in perineal area are common. The usual treatment is coverage by skin graft and flaps which may be local, pedicled or free types. In this paper V-Y flaps were used to cover the defects. METHODS V-Y flaps were used in the gluteal area in 15 patients. Lesions were due to different causes. RESULTS Of 15 patients, 11 were males and 4 were females. Their ages ranged from 3...
متن کاملInvestigating the Variation and Versatility of an Effective Environment on Resident’s Satisfaction in Residential Complexes (Case study: Isfahan Zeytun Residential Complex)
The development of modern housing has been accompanied by less attention paid to the versatility and the variation of the living spaces. The quality of residential spaces has declined to a degree that the home has merely become a place to meet physical needs and many psychological problems have been neglected. Recognizing the factors affecting the environmental capabilities of today’s housing a...

The genus Rhodococcus is a very diverse group of bacteria that possesses the ability to degrade a large number of organic compounds, including some of the most difficult compounds with regard to recalcitrance and toxicity. They achieve this through their capacity to acquire a remarkable range of diverse catabolic genes and their robust cellular physiology. Rhodococcus appear to have adopted a s...
