Agrococcus

Abstract

Ag.ro.coc'cus. Gr. n. agros field or soil; N.L. masc. n. coccus (from Gr. masc. n. kokkos grain, seed) coccus; N.L. masc. n. Agrococcus a coccus from soil. Actinobacteria / Actinobacteria / Micrococcales / Microbacteriaceae / Agrococcus Irregular , spherical , ovoid or short rods , 0.7–1.0 µm in diameter and 1.1–1.7 µm in length. Cells occur singly and in pairs, short flexible chains, or small irregular clusters. Nonsporeforming. Gram‐stain‐positive and nonmotile . Aerobic or microaerobic . Colonies are circular, convex, and smooth; the pigmentation varies between white, cream, yellow, and orange depending on culture conditions. Colony size ranges from 2–7 mm. Catalase‐positive; oxidase‐negative. DNA G + C content ( mol %): 65–75. Type species : Agrococcus jenensis Groth, Schumann, Weiss, Martin and Rainey 1996, 239 VP .

Synergy between Genome Mining, Metabolomics, and Bioinformatics Uncovers Antibacterial Chlorinated Carbazole Alkaloids and Their Biosynthetic Gene Cluster fromStreptomyces tubbatahanensissp. nov., a Novel Actinomycete Isolated from Sulu Sea, Philippines

“…The whole-cell sugars were glucose and xylose. The chemotaxonomic characteristics of S. tubbatahanensis DSD3025 T were typical features of members under the genus Streptomyces ( 30 ), with major chemotaxonomic differences observed between S. tubbatahanensis DSD3025 T and its close Streptomyces relatives. Collectively, the genomic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic features highlighted S. tubbatahanensis DSD3025 T as a novel species.…”

Draft Genome Sequence of Arctic, Heavy Metal-Resistant Agrococcus sp. Strain ARC_14 Isolated from Active Layer of Permafrost from Spitsbergen (Norway)

“…Agrococcus species are Gram-positive, nonmotile bacteria classified in the Actinobacteria phylum within the Microbacteriaceae family ( 1 ). Currently, the genus Agrococcus comprises 11 species, members of which were isolated from various environments.…”

Complete Genome Sequence of Agrococcus sp. Strain SGAir0287, Isolated from Tropical Air Collected in Singapore

“…Agrococcus species are Gram-positive, nonmotile bacteria classified in the Actinobacteria phylum (1). Agrococcus jenensis and its strains 2002-39/1 T and ST54 were initially identified as Agromyces spp.…”

“…Several new species of Agrococcus have been reported since and were found in various environments such as medieval paintings (3), air (4), cheese (5), seaweed (6), soil from cold deserts (7), forests (8), and coal mines (9). Agrococci have an irregular coccoid morphology with characteristic menaquinones and 2,4-diaminobutyric acid cell walls (1). They thrive on tryptic soy agar (TSA; Sigma-Aldrich, USA) at 30°C, with colonies appearing yellow when cultured in light and white when cultured in darkness (1).…”
