Ancylobacter radicis sp. nov., a novel aerobic methylotrophic bacteria associated with plants.

The two novel bacterial strains, designated as VT and ML, were isolated from roots of cinquefoil (Potentilla sp.) and leaves of meadow-grass (Poa sp.) on the flooded bank of lake, respectively.

Ancylobacter moscoviensis sp. nov., novel facultatively methylotrophic bacteria from activated sludge and the reclassification of Starkeya novella (Starkey 1934) Kelly et al. 2000 as Ancylobacter novellus comb. nov., Starkeya koreensis Im et al. 2006 as Ancylobacter koreensis comb.nov., Angulomicrobium tetraedrale Vasil'eva et al. 1986 as Ancylobacter tetraedralis comb. nov., Angulomicrobium amanitiforme Fritz et al. 2004 as Ancylobacter amanitiformis comb. nov., and Methylorhabdus multivorans Doronina et al. 1996 as Ancylobacter multivorans comb. nov., and emended description of the genus Ancylobacter.

Three novel facultatively methylotrophic bacteria, strains 3C, 1A, 8P, were isolated from activated sludges. The isolates were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore forming rods multiplying by binary fission. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, and diphosphatidylglycerol.

Improved cytocompatibility and antibacterial properties of zinc-substituted brushite bone cement based on β-tricalcium phosphate.

For bone replacement materials, osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic properties are desired. The bacterial resistance and the need for new antibacterial strategies stand among the most challenging tasks of the modern medicine. In this work, brushite cements based on powders of Zinc (Zn) (1.

sp. nov., a novel methylotrophic bacterium isolated from oak buds.

Novel aerobic, restricted facultatively methylotrophic bacteria were isolated from buds of English oak ( L.; strain Dub) and northern red oak ( L.; strain KrD).

Methylopila carotae sp. nov., a facultative methylotroph, isolated from a root of Daucus carota L.

An aerobic facultatively methylotrophic bacterium, designated strain Das4.1, was isolated from a root of Daucus carota L. The cells of this strain were observed to be Gram-stain negative, asporogenous, non-motile short rods multiplying by binary fission.

Ancylobacter sonchi sp. nov., a novel methylotrophic bacterium frоm roots of Sonchus arvensis L.

An aerobic facultatively methylotrophic bacterium was isolated from roots of Sonchus arvensis L. and designated strain Osot The cells of this strain were Gram-stain-negative, asporogenous, motile short rods multiplying by binary fisson. They utilized methanol, methylamines and a variety of polycarbon compounds as the carbon and energy sources.
