cds46, a highly variable carp edema virus gene.

Carp edema virus disease (CEVD) is a severe viral illness that causes substantial economic losses in wild and farmed common carp and koi. It is caused by carp edema virus (CEV), a member of the family whose genetic diversity and genome evolution are poorly understood. Based on a genomic fragment of the gene, two genogroups, genogroup I (gI) and genogroup II (gII), have been identified in samples of different origins.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from the rhizosphere of .

Two Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming bacterial strains, isolated from the rhizosphere of were studied for their detailed taxonomic allocation. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, both strains JJ-7 and JJ-60 were shown to be members of the genus . Strain JJ-7 was most closely related to the type strains of (99.

Micronutrient Profile and Carbohydrate Microstructure of Commercially Prepared and Home Prepared Infant Fruit and Vegetable Purees.

Large variability exists in ingredient selection and preparation of home prepared infant purees and there is a lack of data on nutritional quality in comparison to commercially prepared purees. This work had two aims. Study 1 compared the nutritional value of commercially prepared and home prepared infant purees.

Paenibacillus allorhizoplanae sp. nov. from the rhizoplane of a Zea mays root.

A Gram-positive staining, aerobic, endospore-forming bacterial strain, isolated from the rhizosphere of Zea mays was studied for its detailed taxonomic allocation. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strain JJ-42 was shown to be a member of the genus Paenibacillus, most closely related to the type strain of Paenibacillus pectinilyticus (98.8%).
