Three independent isolates of Gram-reaction-negative cocci collected from two New York State patients and a dog's mouth in California were subjected to polyphasic analysis. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity among these is 99.66 99.86 %. closest species with validly published name Neisseria zoodegmatis (98.7 % similarity) six additional the genus greater than 97 similarity. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) genome-to-genome distance calculator (GGDC 2.0) analysis on whole genome data...
Cold-tolerant bacteria are known to contaminate and cause defects in refrigerated foods. Defects food products can be observed as changes appearance, texture, and/or flavor that detract from the product's intended look, feel, or taste. Two distinct organisms were cultured blue pigmented soymilk tofu had been left opened expired a home refrigerator. The coloration was reproduced when isolates fresh, sterile soymilk. These strains also produced variety of colony color morphologies on different...
Violacein is a water-insoluble violet pigment produced by various Gram-negative bacteria. The compound and the bacteria that produce it have been gaining attention due to antimicrobial proposed antitumour properties of violacein possibility strains producing may broad industrial uses. Bacteria isolated from diverse environments including fresh ocean waters, glaciers, tropical soils, trees, fish skin amphibians. We report here isolation characterization six violacein-producing bacterial three...
With the completion of genome sequencing Mycobacterium tuberculosisand upsurge in incidence M. tuberculosis infection worldwide partly asa result HIV pandemic, there is need for rationale approach to vaccine andchemotherapy discoveries tuberculosis. The homologue mig gene ofMycobacterium avium was searched database at TheInstitute Genomic Research (TIGR), USA and Sanger Institute, UK.Homologue found comprehensively analysed. Reversetranscription PCR (RT-PCR) carried out on (fadD19)...
