Species of the genus Chryseobacterium belonging to the family Flavobacteriaceae are nonmotile, yellow-pigmented, and rod-shaped bacteria, some of which were frequently isolated from soil or plant-related materials. Here, we present draft genome sequences of three type strains of Chryseobacterium, which contain genes related to plant growth promotion, colonization, or stress adaptation.

A public trout hatchery in Colorado recorded repeat episodes of morbidity and mortality early life stages Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) stocks. The water source for the affected tanks is a groundwater well with pH 6.3 ferrous iron concentration 120 µg/L. Iron oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) were suspected as underlying cause due to insoluble red particulate matter (iron oxide precipitate) water...

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a family of biopolyesters accumulated by a variety of microorganisms as carbon and energy storage under starvation conditions. We focused on marine purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria as host microorganisms for PHA production and developed a method for their isolation from natural seawater. To identify novel PHA-producing marine purple non-sulfur photosynt...

A joint effort between the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Global Desert Dust and NASA’s Stratospheric and Cosmic Dust Programs identified culturable microbes from an air sample collected at an altitude of 20,000 m. A total of 4 fungal (Penicillium sp.) and 71 bacteria colony-forming units (70 colonies of Bacillus luciferensis believed to have originated from a single cell collected at altitude...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate antibiotics effective for periodontopathic bacteria as chemotherapeutic agents for periodontal diseases. Antimicrobial activities of ten agents were evaluated by determinating minimal inhibitory concentrations against six periodontopathic bacterial species ( Bacteroides gingivalis, B. melaninogenicus ss intermedius, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Eikenella co...

Liao, C. H., and Wells, J. M. 1987. Association of pectolytic strains of Xanthomonas campestris with soft rots of fruits and vegetables at retail markets. Phytopathology 77:-418-422. Five strains of pectolytic, yellow-pigmented bacteria were isolated from xanthomonads might represent an unusual cluster of X. campestris that rotted specimens of tomato, bell pepper, cucumber, and papaya collected...

introcduction: pigmented villonodular synovitis (pvs) is rare, benign and proliferative disorder of synovium which consists of villous and/ or nodular formations in joints.diagnosis is determined by clinical features, aspiration of the joint, radiographic features and magnetic resonance imaging (mri).the definitive treatment is the complete resection of affected tissue by open or arthroscopic s...
