Campylobacter cuniculorum sp. nov., from rabbits Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
Campylobacter avium sp. nov., a hippurate-positive species isolated from poultry Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
Staphylococcus petrasii subsp. pragensis subsp. nov., occurring in human clinical material Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
Seven coagulase-negative, oxidase-negative and novobiocin-susceptible staphylococci assigned tentatively as Staphylococcus petrasii were investigated in this study in order to elucidate their taxonomic position. All strains were initially shown to form a genetically homogeneous group separated from remaining species of the genus Staphylococcus by using a repetitive sequence-based PCR fingerprinting with the (GTG)5 primer. Phylogenetic ...
Campylobacter subantarcticus sp. nov., isolated from birds in the sub-Antarctic region Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
Reassessment of the taxonomy of Arcobacter cryaerophilus Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
Helicobacter equorum sp. nov., a urease-negative Helicobacter species isolated from horse faeces Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
A molecular device for the redox quality control of GroEL/ES substrates Vrije Universiteit Brussel Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
Hsp60 chaperonins and their Hsp10 cofactors assist protein folding in all living cells, constituting the paradigmatic example of molecular chaperones. Despite extensive investigations of their structure and mechanism, crucial questions regarding how these chaperonins promote folding remain unsolved. Here, we report that the bacterial Hsp60 chaperonin GroEL forms a stable, functionally relevant complex with the chaperedoxin CnoX, a protein ...
Recommended minimal standards for description of new taxa of the genera Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and related genera Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Minimal standards for the description of new cultivable strains that represent novel genera and species belonging to the genera Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and related genera are proposed in accordance with Recommendation 30b of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision): the description of novel species should be based on phenotypic, genotypic and ecological characteristics to ensure a rich polyphasic characterization. Concerning genotypic ...
