Purification and specificity of bacteriolytic enzyme I from Hartmannella glebae [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1977
A soil amoeba (Hartmannella glebae), when grown in conjunction with Enterobacter aerogenes and Alcaligenes faecalis, produced two enzymes. Enzyme I was purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose. It is a basic protein.

Multiplication of Legionella spp. in tap water containing Hartmannella vermiformis [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1991
A model was developed to study the multiplication of various Legionella spp. in tap water containing Hartmannella vermiformis. Tap water cultures prepared with the following components were suitable for the multiplication studies: Legionella spp., 10(3) CFU/ml; H.

Identification of new amoebae strains in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) farms affected by nodular gill disease (NGD) in Northeastern Italy

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 47, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Nodular gill disease (NGD) is an emerging condition associated with amoeba trophozoites in freshwater salmonid farms. However, unambiguous identification of the pathogens still must be achieved. This study aimed to identify the amoeba species involved in periodic NGD outbreaks in two rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farms in Northeastern ...

Revisions to the Classification, Nomenclature, and Diversity of Eukaryotes

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 4-119, January/February 2019., 2019
Abstract This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes in phylogenetic analyses. For some clades even families are being clearly resolved.

Structural characterization of the Sel1‐like repeat protein LceB from Legionella pneumophila

Protein Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Legionella are freshwater Gram‐negative bacteria that in their normal environment infect protozoa. However, this adaptation also allows Legionella to infect human alveolar macrophages and cause pneumonia. Central to Legionella pathogenesis are more than 330 secreted effectors, of which there are nine core effectors that are conserved in all ...

Burkholderia pseudomallei Adaptation for Survival in Stressful Conditions

BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram‐negative bacterium that causes melioidosis, which can be fatal in humans. Melioidosis is prevalent in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. Ecological data have shown that this bacterium can survive as a free‐living organism in environmental niches, such as soil and water, as well as a ...

Grazing preferences of three species of amoebae on cyanobacteria and green algae

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Abstract Twenty species/isolates of cyanobacteria and green algae were isolated from cyanobacterial bloom samples in lakes associated with the upper Qu'Appelle River drainage system in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Three amoebae species (Cochliopodium sp., Vannella sp.

Potentially Pathogenic Free-Living Amoebae in Contact Lenses of the Asymptomatic Contact Lens Wearers

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2014
Background: Free-living amoebae (FLA) including Acanthamoeba spp. and Hartmannella spp. are the causative agents of serious corneal infection especially within contact lens wearers. Thus contact lenses and their storage case could be a suitable niche for

Sensitivity of Vermamoeba (Hartmannella) vermiformis cysts to conventional disinfectants and protease [PDF]

Journal of Water and Health, 2014
Vermamoeba vermiformis is a free-living amoeba (FLA) widely distributed in the environment, known to colonize hot water networks and to be the reservoir of pathogenic bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila. FLA are partly resistant to biocides, especially in their cyst form. The control of V.

Molecular regulation of virulence in Legionella pneumophila

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 121, Issue 2, Page 167-195, February 2024.
Enabled by the Type IV Dot/Icm secretion system, the bacterial parasite Legionella pneumophila is evolutionarily adapted to dwell intracellularly in a multitude of eukaryotic hosts including humans. This review is focused on the regulatory mechanisms that govern the switch from bacterial replicative forms to environmentally resilient forms, in response
