‘Bacteroides cutis,’ a new bacterial species isolated from human skin
We report the main characteristics of 'Bacteroides cutis' sp. nov., strain Marseille-P4118T (= CSUR P4118), a new species within the genus Bacteroides. This strain was isolated from a skin sample of a 75-year-old man from Marseille.
متن کاملAnnotation, comparison and databases for hundreds of bacterial genomes.
The multitude of bacterial genome sequences being determined has opened up a new field of research, that of comparative genomics. One role of bioinformatics is to assist biologists in the extraction of biological knowledge from this data flood. Software designed for the analysis and functional annotation of a single genome have, in consequence, evolved towards comparative genomics tools, bringi...
متن کاملHow do we compare hundreds of bacterial genomes?
The genomic revolution is fully upon us in 2006 and the pace of discovery is set to accelerate with the emergence of ultra-high-throughput sequencing technologies. Our complete genome collection of bacteria and archaea continues to grow in number and diversity, as genome sequencing is applied to an array of new problems, from the characterization of the pan-genome to the detection of mutation a...
متن کاملPanamanian frog species host unique skin bacterial communities
Vertebrates, including amphibians, host diverse symbiotic microbes that contribute to host disease resistance. Globally, and especially in montane tropical systems, many amphibian species are threatened by a chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), that causes a lethal skin disease. Bd therefore may be a strong selective agent on the diversity and function of the microbial communiti...
متن کاملA single macrolichen constitutes hundreds of unrecognized species.
The number of Fungi is estimated at between 1.5 and 3 million. Lichenized species are thought to make up a comparatively small portion of this figure, with unrecognized species richness hidden among little-studied, tropical microlichens. Recent findings, however, suggest that some macrolichens contain a large number of unrecognized taxa, increasing known species richness by an order of magnitud...
