sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from faeces from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Six aerobic or facultative anaerobic, motile, Gram-stain-positive, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative strains (zg-Y453, zg-Y324, zg-Y462, zg-Y411, zg-Y809 and zg-Y786) were isolated from different faecal samples of from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Pale yellow, round, raised and moist colonies appeared 48 h after incubation at 28 °C on brain-heart infusion plates supplemented with 5 % defibrinated sheep blood. According to the 16S rRNA gene sequence alignment, two strain pairs (zg-Y453/zg-Y324 and zg-Y462/zg-Y411) shared the highest similarities to (99.

Description of Ornithinimicrobium cryptoxanthini sp. nov., a Novel Actinomycete Producing β-cryptoxanthin Isolated from the Tongtian River Sediments.

Two novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile, and yellow-pigmented, irregular rod-shaped bacteria (JY.X269 and JY.X270) were isolated from the near-surface sediments of river in Qinghai Province, P.

A novel phytopathogen sp. nov., isolated from the feces of ruddy shelducks.

The species in the genus Erwinia are Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile, and rod-shaped. Most species in the genus Erwinia are phytopathogens. Also, Erwinia persicina was involved in several human infections.

Morphological and genomic characteristics of two novel actinomycetes, sp. nov. and sp. nov. isolated from bat faeces ( and ).

Four Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, non-motile, circle-shaped bacteria were isolated from the faeces of bats ( and ) collected from Guangxi autonomous region (E106°49'20″, N22°20'54″) and Yunnan province (E102°04'39″, N25°09'10″) of South China. Strains HY006 and HY008 shared highly 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to those of W204 (99.3%) and CPCC 203535 (97.

sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Six Gram-stain-positive, aerobic and irregular-rod-shaped actinobacteria (ZJ1313, ZJ1307, MC1495, Y192, 603 and X2025) were isolated from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China and were characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic method. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the six new strains formed three distinct clusters within the genus , and strains ZJ1313 and ZJ1307 were most closely related to JCM 31492 (16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, 98.0 %), MC1495 and Y192 to 78 (98.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., new members in the genus .

Four novel bacterial strains (zg-ZUI122/zg-ZUI10 and zg-ZUI227/zg-ZUI100) were isolated from the intestinal contents of and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Cells were Gram-stain- and catalase-positive, urease- and oxidase-negative. Strains grew optimally at 28-30 °C, pH 7.

Investigation of the Genomic and Pathogenic Features of the Potentially Zoonotic .

Recently, reference strains of serotype 20, 22, and 26 were reclassified as . The public health significance of is underestimated due to the lack of clinical isolates. In the present study, we first reported two sporadic infections in humans, after using full-length 16S rRNA and housekeeping genes' phylogeny and ANI values of genome sequence comparisons to determine the species of their isolates BS26 and BS27.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., two new members of the family .

Four obligatory anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile and rod-shaped organisms (HF-1365, HF-1362, HF-1101 and HF-4214) were isolated from faecal samples of healthy Chinese subjects. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that these isolates belong to the genera (strains HF-1365 and HF-1362) and (strains HF-1101 and HF-4214), closest to (both 98.6 %) and (98.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., two new members of the genus .

Four unknown strains belonging to the genus were isolated from plateau wildlife on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of PR China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the four isolates were separated into two clusters. Cluster I (strains 785 and 208) had the greatest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to (98.

Detection of mycobacterial small RNA in the bacterial culture supernatant and plasma of patients with active tuberculosis.

Bacterial small RNA (sRNA) has been shown to play an important role in control of bacteria virulence, stress response and physiological metabolism by post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. However, there were few reports about bacterial sRNA as a biomarker of infection. To test the potential role of sRNA in indicating infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, total RNA were extracted from the filtrated bacterial cultural supernatant.
