Erko Stackebrandt (born 9 June 1944) is a German microbiologist and bacteriologist known for his work in systematics, molecular phylogeny, and ecology of archaea and bacteria.
Stackebrandt was born on 9 June 1944 in Germany.
He has held prestigious positions, including chair in Microbiology at the University of Kiel (Germany) [1] and Brisbane (Australia), [2] and professor at the Technical University of Braunschweig. [3] Stackebrandt also served as the Director of the Leibniz-Institute German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH in Braunschwei. [4]
Stackebrandt has authored over 780 scientific publications and received numerous awards, including the Bergey Award and the J. Roger Porter Award. [5] His research includes the systematic study of Cellulomonas and molecular diversity analyses in various ecosystems.
Stackebrandtia, a Gram-positive, aerobic and non-motile genus of bacteria from the family of Glycomycetaceae, is named after Stackebrandt. [6]
Porphyromonadaceae is a family of Gram-negative bacteria described by Noel R. Krieg in 2015. It contains nine genera, five of which are validly published by the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Bacteria with 16S ribosomal RNA highly similar to the Porphyromonas genus, as compared to the larger taxonomic order Bacteroidales, are classified in this family.
The Chloroflexota are a phylum of bacteria containing isolates with a diversity of phenotypes, including members that are aerobic thermophiles, which use oxygen and grow well in high temperatures; anoxygenic phototrophs, which use light for photosynthesis ; and anaerobic halorespirers, which uses halogenated organics as electron acceptors.
Bacterial taxonomy is subfield of taxonomy devoted to the classification of bacteria specimens into taxonomic ranks.
Psychrobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, osmotolerant, oxidase-positive, psychrophilic or psychrotolerant, aerobic bacteria which belong to the family Moraxellaceae and the class Gammaproteobacteria. The shape is typically cocci or coccobacilli. Some of those bacteria were isolated from humans and can cause humans infections such as endocarditis and peritonitis. This genus of bacteria is able to grow at temperatures between −10 and 42 °C. Rudi Rossau found through DNA-rRNA hybridization analysis that Psychrobacter belongs to the Moraxellaceae. The first species was described by Juni and Heym. Psychrobacter occur in wide range of moist, cold saline habitats, but they also occur in warm and slightly saline habitats.
Prosthecomicrobium is a genus of aerobic bacteria which was isolated from freshwater samples.
Seliberia stellata is an oligotrophic bacterium from the genus of Seliberia with a flagellum which was isolated from humus-illuvial pozol soil from Karelian Isthmus in Russia.
Propionimicrobium lymphophilum is a Gram-positive bacterium which has been isolated from submaxillary tissue.
Kofleriaceae is an aerobic family of bacteria from the order of Myxococcales.
Blastococcus is a Gram-positive, coccoid and aerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Geodermatophilaceae.
Marinococcus is a Gram-positive, strictly aerobic, chemolithoautotrophic and non-spore-forming genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae.
The Dermacoccaceae is a family of bacteria placed within the order of Micrococcales. Bacteria af this familia are Gram-positive, non-spore-forming and non-motile. Dermacoccaceae bacteria occur on the skin.
Dermacoccus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, chemoorganotrophic and aerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Dermacoccaceae.
The Dermatophilaceae is a Gram-positive family of bacteria placed within the order of Actinomycetales. Dermatophilaceae bacteria occur on animal and human skin and in fish guts.
Kineosphaera is a Gram-positive, strictly aerobic non-spore-forming and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Dermatophilaceae. Kineosphaera limosa has been isolated from activated sludge from Ibaraki Prefecture in Japan.
Coprothermobacterota is a phylum of nonmotile, rod-shaped bacteria.
Coprothermobacteraceae is a bacterial family of rod-shaped microorganisms, belonging to the order Coprothermobacterales, class Coprothermobacteria of the phylum Coprothermobacterota.
Coprothermobacter is a genus of rod-shaped microorganisms, belonging to the bacterial family Coprothermobacteraceae of the phylum Coprothermobacterota. This taxonomic genus has been reclassified in 2018, after different phylogenetic studies showed that these bacteria represented a deeply branched taxon of the domain Bacteria; consequently, the clade including this genus has been classified in a separate phylum from Firmicutes, the phylum where it was included before reclassification.
Terrabacter is a genus of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-sporeforming bacteria. The genus name is derived from Latin terra (earth), referring to the type species' original isolation from soil. The genus was first proposed in 1989; however, the type species Terrabacter tumescens was originally described in 1934, and had previously been classified in the genera Corynebacterium, Arthrobacter, and Pimelobacter. Terrabacter species have been isolated from soil, air and stone.
Knoellia is a genus of Gram positive, aerobic, non-endosporeforming bacteria. Species in this genus are mesophilic and have cells that are irregular rods or coccoid.
Robert George Everitt Murray was an English-Canadian bacteriologist. He is known for his research on bacterial structure and pathology, as well as bacterial taxonomy.
