Genome-guided analysis allows the identification of novel physiological traits ...
Strepis, Nikolaos; Naranjo, Henry D.; Meier-Kolthoff, Jan; Göker, Markus; Shapiro, Nicole; Kyrpides, Nikos; Klenk, Hans-Peter; Schaap, Peter J.The genus Trichococcus currently contains nine species: T. flocculiformis, T. pasteurii, T. palustris, T. collinsii, T. patagoniensis, T. ilyis, T. paludicola, T. alkaliphilus, and T. shcherbakoviae. In general, Trichococcus species can degrade a wide range of carbohydrates. However, only T. pasteurii and a non-characterized strain of Trichococcus, strain ES5, have the capacity of converting glycerol to mainly ...
Co-culture of a novel fermentative bacterium, Lucifera butyrica gen. nov. sp. n...
Sánchez-Andrea, Irene; Florentino, Anna Patrícya; Semerel, Jeltzlin; Strepis, Nikolaos; Sousa, Diana Zita Machado; Stams, Alfons Johannes MariaBiosulfidogenesis can be used to remediate low pH and high metal content waters such as acid mine drainage and recover the present metals. The selection of a cheap electron donor for the process is important for the economic viability. In this work we isolated a novel versatile acidotolerant fermentative bacterium (strain ALET) that is able to use a great variety of substrates including glycerol. Strain ALET is...
Trichococcus species as catalysts for biotechnological production of 1,3-propan...
Strepis, Nikolaos; Koehorst, Jasper; Naranjo, Henry Benavides; Schaap, Peter J.; Stams, Alfons Johannes Maria; Sousa, Diana Zita MachadoNowadays, large amounts of waste glycerol are generated as a major byproduct from biodiesel industry. Glycerol can be converted to 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO), a building block for the synthesis of polyester and biodegradable plastic fibers. We have previously isolated a novel Trichococcus species, strain ES5, which is capable to anaerobically produce 1,3-PDO from glycerol, an ability it shares with Trichococcus ...
Description of Trichococcus ilyis sp. nov. by combined physiological and in sil...
Strepis, Nikolaos; Sánchez-Andrea, Irene; van Gelder, Antonie H.; van Kruistum, Henri; Shapiro, Nicole; Kyrpides, Nikos; Göker, MarkusSpecies of the genus Trichococcus share high similarity of their 16S rRNA gene sequences (>99%). Digital DNADNA hybridization values (dDDH) among type strains of all described species of the genus Trichococcus ( T. flocculiformis DSM 2094T , T. pasteurii DSM 2381T , T. collinsii DSM 14526T , T. palustris DSM 9172T, and T. patagoniensis DSM 18806T) indicated that Trichococcus sp. strain R210T represents a novel ...
