A bacterial strain isolated from a food processing drainage system in Costa Rica fulfilled the criteria as belonging to the genus Listeria, but could not be assigned to any of the known species. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene revealed highest sequence similarity with the type strain of Listeria floridensis (98.7 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on Listeria core genomes placed the novel taxon within the Listeria fleishmannii, L. floridensis and Listeria aquatica clade (Listeria sensu lato). Whole-genome sequence analyses based on the average nucleotide blast identity (ANI<80 %) indicated that this isolate belonged to a novel species. Results of pairwise amino acid identity (AAI>70 %) and percentage of conserved proteins (POCP>68 %) with currently known Listeria species, as well as of biochemical characterization, confirmed that the strain constituted a novel species within the genus Listeria. The name Listeria costaricensis sp. nov. is proposed for the novel species, and is represented by the type strain CLIP 2016/00682 (=CIP 111400=DSM 105474).
Las microalgas se han convertido en una plataforma viable para numerosas aplicaciones biotecnológicas como la producción de biocombustibles, vitaminas, carotenoides, enzimas, farmacéuticos y proteínas recombinantes. Dentro de este grupo, <em>Chlorella sorokiniana</em> tiene los requerimientos para convertirse en un microorganismo industrial, gracias a su habilidad de soportar considerables fluctuaciones de temperatura, pH y salinidad. En el presente estudio, <em>C. sorokiniana</em> fue utilizada para determinar las condiciones óptimas de transformación a mediante Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Se determinó que una densidad bacteriana de OD<sub>600 </sub>= 1.5, 3 días de co-cultivo a 24°C en un pH de 5.6, 150 mM de acetosiringona y dos días de recuperación post co-cultivo son las condiciones óptimas para la transformación de <em>C. sorokiniana</em>.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
