sp. nov., a Gram-positive mesophilic bacterium isolated from plant lesions.

A bacterial strain was isolated from pathogenic lesions of tree leaves from the Teutoburg Forest in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, by culture on non-selective agar plates. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed 100% similarity to and , as well as 99% similarity to and . Here, we used genome-based taxonomy with the Type (Strain) Genome Server (TYGS), which suggests the isolation of a novel prokaryotic strain.

Neuroprotection Mediated by Human Blood Plasma in Mouse Hippocampal Slice Cultures and in Oxidatively Stressed Human Neurons.

Neuroprotection from oxidative stress is critical during neuronal development and maintenance but also plays a major role in the pathogenesis and potential treatment of various neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Emerging evidence in the murine system suggests neuroprotective effects of blood plasma on the aged or diseased brain. However, little is known about plasma-mediated effects on human neurons.
