THE ANAEROBIC MICROBIAL METABOLISM OF ENERGY SUBSTRATES: AN EXPLORATION INTO COALBED METHANOGENESIS, THE BIODETERIORATION OF DIESEL FUEL, AND BIOCORROSION
Lyles, Christopher N. (2013-12)Under anaerobic conditions the complete mineralization of energy substrate can be achieved by specialized individual microorganisms or through syntrophic partnerships involving bacteria and archaea that ultimately convert ... -
Breeding and migration ecology of bar-headed goose Anser indicus and swan goose Anser cygnoides in Asia
Batbayar, Nyambayar (2013-12)Most waterfowl that breed in Mongolia, part of the semiarid northern region of East Asia, are long distant migrants. They depend on availability of lake, river, and wetland habitats on their breeding and wintering grounds ... -
Characterization of Some Actinomyces-Like Isolates from Human Clinical Sources: Description of Varibaculum cambriensis gen. nov., sp. nov.
Hall, Val; Collins, Matthew D.; Lawson, Paul A.; Hutson, Roger A.; Falsen, Enevold; Inganas, Elisabeth; Duerden, Brian (2003-02)Fifteen strains of an anaerobic, catalase-negative, gram-positive diphtheroid-shaped bacterium recovered from human sources were characterized by phenotypic and molecular chemical and molecular genetic methods. The ... -
Corynebacterium riegelii sp. nov., an Unusual Species Isolated from Female Patients with Urinary Tract Infections
Funke, Guido; Lawson, Paul A.; Collins, Matthew D. (1998-03)Four strains of an unknown coryneform bacterium were isolated in pure culture from females with urinary tract infections. Strong urease activity and the ability to slowly ferment maltose but not glucose were the most ... -
Description of Kingella potus sp. nov., an Organism Isolated from a Wound Caused by an Animal Bite
Lawson, Paul A.; Malnick, Henry; Collins, Matthew D.; Shah, Jayesh J.; Chattaway, Marie A.; Bendall, Richard; Hartley, John W. (2005-07)We report the isolation and characterization of a hitherto unknown gram-negative, rod-shaped Neisseria-like organism from an infected wound resulting from a bite from a kinkajou. Based on both phenotypic and phylogenetic ... -
Facklamia ignava sp. nov., Isolated from Human Clinical Specimens
Collins, Matthew D.; Lawson, Paul A.; Monasterio, Rafael; Falsen, Enevold; Sjoden, Berit; Facklam, Richard R. (1998-07)Two strains of a hitherto-undescribed gram-positive, catalase-negative coccus isolated from human sources were characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies ... -
Facklamia languida sp. nov., Isolated from Human Clinical Specimens
Lawson, Paul A.; Collins, Matthew D.; Falsen, Enevold; Sjoden, Berit; Facklam, Richard R. (1999-04)Three strains of a gram-positive catalase-negative, facultatively anaerobic coccus-shaped organism originating from human clinical samples were characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. Sequencing of ... -
Formate-Dependent Growth and Homoacetogenic Fermentation by a Bacterium from Human Feces: Description of Bryantella formatexigens gen. nov., sp. nov.
Wolin, Meyer J.; Miller, Terry L.; Collins, Matthew D.; Lawson, Paul A. (2003-10)Formate stimulates growth of a new bacterium from human feces. With high formate, it ferments glucose to acetate via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. The original isolate fermented vegetable cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, ... -
Genome Sequence of Thermoanaerobaculum aquaticum MP-01T, the First Cultivated Member of Acidobacteria Subdivision 23, Isolated from a Hot Spring
Stamps, Blake W.; Losey, Nathaniel A.; Lawson, Paul A.; Stevenson, Bradley S. (2014-05)Thermoanaerobaculum aquaticum MP-01T is currently the only cultivated and described member of Acidobacteria subdivision 23. Here, we report the genome sequence for this novel microorganism that was isolated from a hot spring. -
Meningoencephalitis Associated with Globicatella sanguinis Infection in Lambs
Vela, Ana I.; Fernandez, Elena; Las Heras, Alfonso; Lawson, Paul A.; Dominguez, Lucas; Collins, Matthew D.; Fernandez-Garayzabal, Jose F. (2000-11)Thirty lambs displayed symptoms of meningoencephalitis. An unusual gram-positive coccus was isolated in pure culture from the blood and brain samples from one of the affected animals, and phenotypic and phylogenetic ... -
Molecular Methods for the Analysis of Gut Microbiota
Namsolleck, Pawel; Thiel, Ralph; Lawson, Paul A.; Holmstrom, Kim; Rajilic, Mirjana; Vaughan, Elaine E.; Rigottier-Gois, Lionel; Collins, Matthew D.; de Vos, Willem M.; Blaut, Michael (2004)This review focuses on methodological approaches used to study the composition of human faecal microbiota. Gene sequencing is the most accurate tool for revealing the phylogenetic relationships between bacteria. The main ... -
Most Corynebacterium xerosis Strains Identified in the Routine Clinical Laboratory Correspond to Corynebacterium amycolatum
Lawson, Paul A.; Bernard, Kathryn A.; Collins, Matthew D.; Funke, Guido (1996-05)A comprehensive study was performed on 25 bacterial clinical isolates originally identified as Corynebacterium xerosis. Three reference strains of C. xerosis were also included in the study. On the basis of a variety of ... -
