چکیده
A methanogenic bacterium with the morphological and physiological properties of the genus Methanobrevibacter was isolated from the feces of a Japanese man who excreted methane in his breath. Indirect immunofluorescence staining revealed that the isolate had an antigenicity unrelated to that of any known members of the genus Methanobrevibacter.

Methanogenic bacteria from human dental plaque.
Samples of human dental plaque were examined for the presence of methanogenic bacteria. Of 54 samples from 36 patients, 20 yielded H2/CO2-using methanogenic enrichment cultures. All methanogen-positive samples were from patients with some degree of periodontal disease. The predominant populations in the enrichments had morphologies characteristic of Methanobrevibacter spp. In six enrichments de...
متن کاملIsolation and Identification of Tannin-degrading Bacteria from Native Sheep and Goat Feces in Kohgiloye and Boyer-Ahmad Province
Oak trees cover a wide range of forests in Iran and most of them are located in Kohgiloye and Boyer-Ahmad province (K.B). The high tannin is one of the anti-nutritional characteristics of acorn for domestic animal. Wide range of gut microorganisms could tolerate tannin and reduce it by producing tannase enzyme. This study was carried out to isolate and identify the tannin resistance bacteria (t...

متن کاملIsolation of mucoid Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains.
Mucoid strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were isolated from the stools of two asymptomatic carriers and a patient with gastroenteritis. The strains demonstrated biochemical reactions and antibiotic susceptibility typical of nonmucoid strains of V. parahaemolyticus isolated locally. The slime substance was typed by coagglutination and was antigenically similar to the capsular antigen of the sam...
