Randomly labeled erythritol-14C has been synthesized and incubated with fluoride-poisoned suspensions of dried cells of Propionibacterium pentosoceum. Therefrom labeled glycerol-d-P, glyceric acid-j-P, erythritol-l-P, ribose-5-P, xyhalose-5-P, glucose-6-P, fructosed-P, mannosed-P, fructose-1 ,6-di-P, and sedoheptulose-7-P were isolated. Erythritol-W-1-P accumulated more rapidly than did the oth...

Skin as an outer layer of body and a main connection between the body and the environment is a way that pathogens can access the body; Therefore, it has a crucial protecting role for the body because of obstacle functioning and micobiota. Factors that seem to commonly contribute to the disease are follicular hyperkeratinization, propionibacterium acnes, sebum production, and inflammation; howev...

Techniques of immobilization of microbial- cells have been established by multifunctional reagents such as glutaraldehyed on a solid support. Immobilized cell reactor was designed to demonstrate stability of cross linking of whole cells for the production of organic acids. An eighty-six percent conversion of glucose was obtained for an eight hour retention time. The immobilized cell reacto...

Propionibacterium acnes was previously described as a potential implant-related pathogen. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of four P. acnes strains, isolated from spine material, hip arthroplasty, and knee arthroplasty infections in France belonging to different sequence types (ST18, ST27, and ST36).

Propionibacterium avidum is an anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium that forms part of the normal human cutaneous microbiota, colonizing moist areas such as the vestibule of the nose, axilla, and perineum. Here we present the complete genome sequence of P. avidum strain 44067, which was isolated from a carbuncle of the trunk.
