Sphingolipid Composition in Bacteroides Species

Sphingoaurantiacus polygranulatus gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from high-Arctic tundra soil, and emended descriptions of the genera Sandarakinorhabdus, Polymorphobacter and Rhizorhabdus and the species Sandarakinorhabdus limnophila, Rhizorhabdus argentea and Sphingomonas wittichii

“…T and the reference strains were extracted and detected using the method described by Kato et al (1995). Polyamines were extracted and analysed as described by Busse & Auling (1988) and Busse et al (1997).…”

Mucilaginibacter soli sp. nov., isolated from Arctic tundra soil

“…Separation and identification of fatty acid methyl esters was performed using a gas chromatograph (6890N; Hewlett Packard) with MIDI Sherlock TSBA6 (version of the database) (Sasser, 1990). For sphingolipid and polar lipid analysis, strain R9-65 T and the four reference strains were grown on/in R2A agar or broth, respectively, at 25 u C. The sphingolipids were extracted and analysed according to Kato et al (1995), while the polar lipids were extracted and analysed by twodimensional TLC (silica gel plates, layer thickness 0.2 mm, Merck) according to Tindall (1990).…”

Role of Sphingolipids in Microbial Pathogenesis

“…Most prokaryotic cells do not contain sphingolipids. However, some bacteria, including the genera Sphingobacterium (99,147,148), Sphingomonas (142,146), and Bacteroides (63,122) and Bdellovibrio stolpii (140) are able to synthesize sphingolipids. Sphingomonas spp.…”
