1998 journal article

Delimiting the genus Staphylococcus through description of Macrococcus caseolyticus gen. nov., comb. nov. and Macrococcus equipercicus sp. nov., Macrococcus bovicus sp. nov. and Macrococcus carouselicus sp. nov.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC BACTERIOLOGY, 48, 859–877.

By: W. Kloos n, D. Ballard n, C. George n, J. Webster*, R. Hubner*, W. Ludwig *, K. Schleifer*, F. Fiedler*, K. Schubert*

author keywords: Macrococcus gen. nov.; Macrococcus caseolyticus gen. nov., comb. nov.; Macrococcus equipercicus sp. nov.; Macrococcus bovicus sp. nov.; Macrococcus carouselicus sp. nov.
MeSH headings : Animals; Base Composition; Base Sequence; Cell Wall / chemistry; DNA, Ribosomal / chemistry; Horses; Micrococcaceae / classification; Molecular Sequence Data; Nucleic Acid Hybridization; Phenotype; Phylogeny; Plasmids; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Staphylococcus / classification
TL;DR: Four species of the newly proposed genus Macrococcus are described on the basis of a phylogenetic analysis comparing 16S rRNA sequences, DNA-DNA liquid hybridization, DNA base composition, normalized ribotype patterns, macrorestriction pattern analysis and estimation of genome size using PFGE, cell wall composition, phenotypic characteristics and plasmid profiles.

1997 journal article

An E-coli B mutation, rpoB5081, that prevents growth of phage T4 strains defective in host DNA degradation

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 157(1), 109–116.

By: E. Miller n , G. Shih n, S. Chang n & D. Ballard n

MeSH headings : Alleles; Bacteriophage T4 / growth & development; Chromosome Mapping; DNA Repair; DNA, Bacterial / biosynthesis; DNA, Bacterial / metabolism; DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases / chemistry; DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases / metabolism; Endonucleases / metabolism; Escherichia coli / enzymology; Escherichia coli / genetics; Escherichia coli / virology; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial; Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic; Mutation; Phenotype; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Transcription Factors / metabolism; Transcription, Genetic; Viral Proteins / genetics; Viral Proteins / metabolism
TL;DR: An E. coli B Tab strain was isolated that restricts T4 denA (DNA endonuclease II) mutants at 37 degrees C and above, but is permissive for wild-type T4 at all temperatures examined, and is an important host for screening and mapping T 4 denA mutations. (via Semantic Scholar)

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of Staphylococcus hyicus and Staphylococcus chromogenes genomic DNA and its taxonomic, epidemiologic and ecologic applications in veterinary medicine

JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICAL SCIENCE, 59(6), 443–450.

By: A. Shimizu *, W. Kloos n, H. Berkhoff n, C. George n & D. Ballard n

author keywords: genomic DNA fingerprinting; pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; Staphylococcus chromogenes; Staphylococcus hyicus
MeSH headings : Animals; Biomarkers; Cattle; Chickens; DNA Fingerprinting / veterinary; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; Electrophoresis, Gel, Pulsed-Field / veterinary; Female; Genome, Bacterial; Goats; Staphylococcal Infections / epidemiology; Staphylococcal Infections / genetics; Staphylococcal Infections / veterinary; Staphylococcus / classification; Staphylococcus / genetics; Staphylococcus / isolation & purification; Swine
TL;DR: It is concluded that PFGE analysis is a useful tool not only for species or strain identification but also for epidemiologic or ecologic studies of S. hyicus and S. chromogenes. (via Semantic Scholar)
