Micrococcus porci sp. nov., Isolated from Feces of Black Pig (Sus scrofa)
An aerobic bacterium, designated as strain KD337-16T, was isolated from the fecal samples of a black pig. It exhibited spherical, non-motile and non–spore-forming, Gram-positive cells. KD337-16T was identified as a member of the genus Micrococcus through

Bacterial exchange in household washing machines [PDF]
Household washing machines (WMs) launder soiled clothes and textiles, but do not sterilize them. We investigated the microbial exchange occurring in five household WMs. Samples from a new cotton T-shirt were laundered together with a normal laundry load.

Transformation in Micrococcus Lysodeikticus [PDF]
SUMMARY: Phage N6 lysates of Micrococcus lysodeikticus and Sarcina lutea were very viscous and were found to mediate genetic transfer of an adenine marker (ade+) to adenine-dependent strains of M. lysodeikticus. The transfer activity of these lysates was found to reside in a high molecular weight DNA fraction rather than in the phage particles ...
