Comparative of phenotypic tests in aerobic actinomycetes
نویسنده
چکیده مقاله:
Dear editor,I read with interest article that published entitled *Isolation and identification of bioactive compound producing Rhodococcus spp. isolated from soil samples {IJMCM/5(1) (2015) 463-468}* [1]. Some of the genus such as Nocardia, Gordonia, Mycobacterium and Rhodococcus are in actinomycete family and they are Gram-positive and partially acid-fast. Rhodococcus species usually stain Gram-positive. Cells form as cocci or short rods which grow in length, and may form an extensively branched vegetative mycelium which may fragment. Microscopic aerial hyphae and spores are not usually produced. They are also non-motile. They are usually partially acid-fast due to the mycolic acid in their cell walls. Colonies of other rhodococci may be rough, smooth or mucoid and pigmented cream, buff, yellow, coral, orange or red. Although biochemical tests help to distinguish Rhodococcus from other organisms, differentiation from other aerobic actinomycetes can be difficult. Colonial and cell morphology cannot be used to distinguish among Rhodococcus, Gordonia and Tsukamurella species. I listed some of phenotypic characterization of Nocardia, Gordonia, Mycobacterium, Rhodococcus and Corynebacterioum in table 1 [2-9] and showed phenotypic tests such as microscopic examination, Gram and acid-fast staining, catalase, oxidase and motility tests that used by Aghaei et al is insufficient for the genus Rhodococcus confirmation. In literature, results of phenotypic tests are ambiguous for Rhodococcus identification and cannot distinguish the genus Gordonia of Rhodococcus [10]. Authors do not explain about phenotypic tests results in this article and results are equivocal.

15 صفحه اولSelective isolation of aerobic Actinomycetes.
The composition of an arginine-glycerol-salt medium (AGS), suitable for the selective isolation of aerobic actinomycetes, was given. When soil samples were treated with calcium carbonate and plated on the AGS medium, higher total and relative plate counts of actinomycetes were obtained than when other media and methods were used.
متن کاملChemical composition of variants of aerobic actinomycetes.
It has been shown previously that aerobic actinomycetes can be separated into four main groups on the basis of their cell wall composition. Six representatives of aerobic actinomycetes (Nocardia asteroides and Micropolyspora brevicatena, cell wall type IV; N. madurae, Microbispora rosea, cell wall type III; Actinoplanes sp., cell wall type II; Streptomyces griseus, cell wall type I) were subjec...

We investigated the utility of 500-bp 16S rRNA gene sequencing for identifying clinically significant species of aerobic actinomycetes. A total of 28 reference strains and 71 clinical isolates that included members of the genera Streptomyces, Gordonia, and Tsukamurella and 10 taxa of Nocardia were studied. Methods of nonsequencing analyses included growth and biochemical analysis, PCR-restricti...

Pulmonary cavities are caused by tissue necrosis that leads to the exclusion of a portion of the pulmonary parenchyma via the bronchial tree. In general, the differential diagnosis of pneumonitis with cavitations includes infectious and noninfectious causes (Table 1). The infectious causes include bacteria such as community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Actinomyces or ...
