Listeria Goaensis

Listeria goaensis is a new species identified under the genus Listeria . The type strain of the species was isolated from the sediment of estuarine mangrove swamp of the Mandovi river, Goa, India. The species shows weak hemolysis on 5% sheep and horse-blood agar plates.

L. Goaensis

In 2018, two samples from mangrove swamps in Goa, India were tested and found to contain Listeria-like cultures. 16S rRNA gene sequences showed 93.7–99.7% nucleotide identity to other Listeria species. Other resemblances to Listeria species included (despite specific differences) the overall fatty acid composition. However, various differences from other Listeria species (as indicated by WGS-based average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values) suggest that they should be considered to be specimens from a new, diverging Listeria species. It was suggested that the name Listeria goaensis sp. nov. be created for a type strain ILCC801T. [1] [2] [3]

<i>Listeria</i> Genus of bacteria

Listeria is a genus of bacteria that acts as an intracellular parasite in mammals. Until 1992, 10 species were known, each containing two subspecies. By 2020, 21 species had been identified. The genus received its current name, after the British pioneer of sterile surgery Joseph Lister, in 1940. Listeria species are Gram-positive, rod-shaped, and facultatively anaerobic, and do not produce endospores. The major human pathogen in the genus Listeria is L. monocytogenes. It is usually the causative agent of the relatively rare bacterial disease listeriosis, an infection caused by eating food contaminated with the bacteria. Listeriosis can cause serious illness in pregnant women, newborns, adults with weakened immune systems and the elderly, and may cause gastroenteritis in others who have been severely infected.

Mycobacterium immunogenum is a species of the phylum Actinobacteria, belonging to the genus Mycobacterium.

Listeria marthii is a species of bacteria. It is a Gram-positive, motile, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming bacillus. It is non-pathogenic, and non-hemolytic. The species was first isolated from Finger Lakes National Forest in New York. It is named after Elmer H. Marth, a researcher of L. monocytogenes, and was first published in 2010. L. marthii was the first new species of Listeria proposed since 1985.

Streptomyces sundarbansensis is a bacterium species from the genus of Streptomyces which has been isolated from soil from a mangrove forest from the Lothian Island in India. Streptomyces sundarbansensis produces 2-allyloxyphenol.

Listeria riparia is a species of bacteria. It is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacillus. It is non-pathongenic. Its name refers to the riparian zone, and its discovery was first published in 2014.

Listeria grandensis is a species of bacteria. It is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacillus. It is non-pathongenic and non-hemolytic. The species was discovered in and named after Grand County, Colorado, and its discovery was first published in 2014.

Listeria newyorkensis is a species of bacteria. It is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacillus. It is non-pathogenic and non-hemolytic. It was discovered in a seafood processing plant in New York, and was first published in 2015.

Listeria seeligeri is a species of bacteria. It is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, motile, non-spore-forming bacillus. It is non-pathogenic. The species was first isolated from plants, soil, and animal feces in Europe. The species was first proposed in 1983, and is named after Heinz P. R. Seeliger. Seeliger first proposed the species L. ivanovii and L. innocua, and published extensively on members of the genus Listeria.

Verrucosispora qiuiae is a bacterium from the genus of Verrucosispora which has been isolated from mangrove soil in Sanya in China.

Mangrovibacter is a genus in the phylum Proteobacteria (Bacteria). The name Mangrovibacter derives from:
New Latin noun mangrovum, mangrove; New Latin masculine gender noun, a rodbacter, nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, rod; New Latin masculine gender noun Mangrovibacter, mangrove rod.

Marichromatium is a genus in the phylum Proteobacteria (Bacteria). The name Marichromatium derives from: Latin mare, the sea; New Latin Chromatium, a genus name; to give Marichromatium, the Chromatium of the sea, the truly marine Chromatium.

Phaeobacter porticola is a bacteria from the genus of Phaeobacter which has been isolated from barnacle from Neuharlingersiel in Germany.) Phaeobacter porticola produces antibiotics.

Corynebacterium alimapuense is a species of bacteria in the genus Corynebacterium that was described as a novel species in 2019. It is a Gram positive, non-motile, aerobic bacterium that does not form spores. Its type strain was isolated from marine sediment from Valparaíso Bay, Chile. The draft genome sequence of the type strain is deposited in DNA Data Bank of Japan, European Nucleotide Archive and GenBank under the accession number PTJO00000000.

Listeria costaricensis is a species of bacterium of the genus Listeria. It is a Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped bacterium, non-spore-forming and facultatively anaerobic. Colonies are opaque, yellow-pigmented, with a flat shape and entire margin on BHI. Growth occurs at 22–42 °C, with optimal growth at 30–37 °C. It has motility at 37 °C. The bacteria is negative for catalase, haemolysis and nitrite reduction. It can be differentiated from other species of the genus Listeria by the absence of catalase reaction, production of acid from potassium 5-ketogluconate and production of a yellow pigment on BHI. It is presumably non-pathongenic due to the lack of haemolysis and pathogenicity genes on its genome.

Listeria innocua is a species of Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria. It is motile, facultatively anaerobic, and non-spore-forming. It was named innocua (innocuous) because as opposed to pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes, L. innocua was not found to be generally infectious. Another Listeria species, L. seeligeri, was named after one of discoverers of L. innocua.
