Pure culture and cytological properties of ‘Syntriphobacter wolini’
نویسندگان
چکیده
The syntrophically propionate-oxidizing bacterium Syntrophobacter wolinii was grown in binary methanogenic coculture with Methanospirillum hungatei as sole partner, free of contaminating Desulfovibrio vulgaris. Substrate tests revealed that S. wolinii could grow also without any syntrophic partner, either with pyruvate as sole substrate or with propionate plus sulfate. Pyruvate was fermented to acetate, propionate and presumably CO2; propionate in the presence of sulfate was oxidized incompletely to acetate and CO2, with stoichiometric sulfide formation. The pure culture contained cytochromes b and c and menaquinone-7. Desulfoviridin or desulforubidin could not be detected.

Despite recent innovations in the laboratory diagnosis of bacterial from nonbacterial meningitis, solid data-necessary for early determination of bacterial meningitis (BM) before organism growth in the culture medium-are missing. Therefore cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate levels were evaluated as a possible means of differentiating the two clinical entities. This was a retrospective study....
