Findings support the inclusion of these three species in the genus Azospirillum as well as several strains of azospirilla which form unique star-shaped colonies identified by deoxyribonucleic acid homology.

Transfer of Conglomeromonas largomobilis subsp. largomobilis to the Genus Azospirillum as Azospirill

PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF AZOSPIRILLUM BY DIRECT SEQUENCING OF PCR AMPLIFIED 16S RDNA

Characterization of Herbaspirillum seropedicae gen. nov., sp. nov., a Root-Associated Nitrogen-Fixing Bacterium

A new genus is proposed, Herbaspirillum, which describes a very homogeneous group of N2-fixing, microaerobic, motile, vibrioid, gram-negative rod-shaped organisms which formed a veillike pellicle in semisolid medium similar to that of Azospirillum spp.

The Genu s Herbaspirillum

The genus Herbaspirillum was extended with [Pseudomonas] rubrisubalbicans, causative agent of “mottled strip disease” in some susceptible sugar-cane varieties, because DNA-rDNA and DNA-DNA reassociation hybridization studies showed a high degree of DNA similarity.

Azospirillum halopraeferens sp. nov., a Nitrogen-Fixing Organism Associated with Roots of Kallar Grass (Leptochloa fusca (L.) Kunth)

Among the nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with the roots of Leptochloa fusca (L.) Kunth in salt-affected soils in the Punjab region of Pakistan, a homogeneous group of eight diazotrophs is found, clearly distinct from Azospirillum amazonense, AzospIRillum lipoferum, and Azospurillum brasilense.

Description of Niveispirillum fermenti gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from a fermentor in Taiwan, transfer of Azospirillum irakense (1989) as Niveispirillum irakense comb. nov., and reclassification of Azospirillum amazonense (1983) as Nitrospirillumamazonense gen. nov

Based on the polyphasic comparison, the name Niveispirillum fermenti gen. nov., sp.

Molecular Tools for Identification and Characterization of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria with Emphasis in Azospirillum spp.

Under the given set of PCR condition, the genus specific primers Azo494-F/Azo756-R were sufficient to differentiate Azospirillum and other closely related genera such as Rhodocista and Skermanella and were useful to provide bases in the description of members belonging to the genus AzospIRillum.

Phylogenetic and physiological characterization of indigenous azospirillum isolates in Thailand

The 16S rDNA sequence of TS18 in Group II was distant from all seven known species in the genus Azospirillum, indicating that TS18 may belong to a new species of Azospirus, indicating the existence of specificity and diversity among the Thai Azospiral isolates.

Emended description of Herbaspirillum; inclusion of [Pseudomonas] rubrisubalbicans, a milk plant pathogen, as Herbaspirillum rubrisubalbicans comb. nov.; and classification of a group of clinical isolates (EF group 1) as Herbaspirillum species 3.

It has been confirmed that H. rubrisubalbicans is an endophytic diazotroph that colonizes the roots, the stems, and predominantly the leaves of sugarcane, while Herbaspirillum seropedicae colonizes in large numbers many different species of the Gramineae.

Sequence and structural organization of a nif A-like gene and part of a nifB-like gene of Herbaspirillum seropedicae strain Z78.

The deduced amino acid sequence derived from the sequence of a fragment of DNA from the free-living diazotroph Herbaspirillum seropedicae was aligned to the homologous protein sequences encoded by…

Deoxyribonucleic acid homologies among organisms in the genus Gluconobacter

Data show that the genus Gluconobacter is composed of at least three species, and support elimination of the previously designated subspecies.

Taxonomy of the Bacteroides I. Deoxyribonucleic Acid Homologies Among Bacteroides fragilis and Other Saccharolytic Bacteroides Species

Strains of the “Bacteroide fragilis group” and other saccharolytic intestinal bacteroides were delineated by deoxyribonucleic acid homology, finding that they were quite homogeneous, usually having 80 to 90% intragroup homology.

A taxonomic study of the Spirillum lipoferum group, with descriptions of a new genus, Azospirillum gen. nov. and two species, Azospirillum lipoferum (Beijerinck) comb. nov. and Azospirillum brasilense sp. nov.

The results indicate that two species of Spirillum lipoferum exist, and on the basis of their characteristics it is proposed that they be assigned to a new genus, Azospirillum.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid Homology of Azospirillum amazonense Magalhães et al. 1984 and Emendation of the Description of the Genus Azospirillum

The results of deoxyribonucleic acid homology experiments with the type strains of Azospirillum lipoferum, AzospIRillum brasilense, and Azospiralillum amazonense confirmed that A. amazonenses is a distinct new species.
