A bacterial strain (CC-TWGS1-8(T)) isolated from a tar-contaminated soil in Taiwan was studied in a detailed taxonomic study. The cells were Gram-negative, rod-shaped and non-spore-forming. Phylogenetic analyses using the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain clearly revealed an affiliation to the genus Chryseobacterium, the highest sequence similarities being to the type strain of Chryseobacter...

Neu robiological studies ind icate very p recise tempo ral behavior of neuron firings. Abeles [1] has recorded spik e timing of different co rtical cells and, in particular, has observed th e following level of precisio n: when a neuron A fires, neuron B w ould fire 15 1ms later an d neu ron C would fire p recisely 289 ms after that—with a precision across trials of 1 ms! Such lon g delays req ...

Limited data are available on Chryseobacterium spp. leading to an evaluation of the patient demographics and susceptibility patterns for Chryseobacterium spp. collected in the first 5 years of the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (1997 to 2001). Fifty isolates (24 Chryseobacterium meningosepticum, 20 Chryseobacterium indologenes, two Chryseobacterium gleum, and 4 Chryseobacterium spp. ...
