Pistacia is a genus of flowering plants in the cashew family, Anacardiaceae. It contains 10 to 20 species that are native to Africa and Eurasia from the Canary Islands, all of Africa, and southern Europe, warm and semidesert areas across Asia, and North America from Mexico to warm and semidesert United States, such as Texas or California.
Pseudoalteromonas is a genus of marine bacteria. In 1995, Gauthier et al proposed Pseudoalteromonas as a new genus to be split from Alteromonas. The Pseudoalteromonas species that were described before 1995 were originally part of the genus Alteromonas, and were reassigned to Pseudoalteromonas based on their rRNA-DNA analysis.
Alteromonas is a genus of Pseudomonadota found in sea water, either in the open ocean or in the coast. It is Gram-negative. Its cells are curved rods with a single polar flagellum.
Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora is a marine bacterium. It belongs to the Gammaproteobacteria. The cells are rod-shaped.
Corticovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Corticoviridae. Corticoviruses are bacteriophages; that is, their natural hosts are bacteria. The genus contains two species. The name is derived from Latin cortex, corticis. However, prophages closely related to PM2 are abundant in the genomes of aquatic bacteria, suggesting that the ecological importance of corticoviruses might be underestimated. Bacteriophage PM2 was first described in 1968 after isolation from seawater sampled from the coast of Chile.
In biology, phase variation is a method for dealing with rapidly varying environments without requiring random mutation. It involves the variation of protein expression, frequently in an on-off fashion, within different parts of a bacterial population. As such the phenotype can switch at frequencies that are much higher than classical mutation rates. Phase variation contributes to virulence by generating heterogeneity. Although it has been most commonly studied in the context of immune evasion, it is observed in many other areas as well and is employed by various types of bacteria, including Salmonella species.
Atlantica Online is a free-to-play (F2P) 3D tactical massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by NDOORS Corporation. The game is currently published by Valofe. The game's primary setting is a fantasy-themed alternate history Earth composed of a diverse blend of historical, cultural, allegorical, and mythological elements. The game world is primarily modeled after real-world geography with accessible locations on six of the seven continents as well as the mythical floating continent of Atlantis from which the game's name is derived.
Pseudoalteromonas agarivorans is a marine bacterium.
Pseudoalteromonas aurantia is an antibacterial-producing marine bacterium commonly found in Mediterranean waters. In 1979, Gauthier and Breittmayer first named it Alteromonas aurantia to include it in the genus Alteromonas that was described seven years earlier, in 1972 by Baumann et al. In 1995, Gauthier et al renamed Alteromonas aurantia to Pseudoalteromonas aurantia to include it in their proposed new genus, Pseudoalteromonas, which they recommended splitting from Alteromonas.
Pseudoalteromonas citrea is a yellow-pigmented marine bacterium that is antibiotic-producing and was isolated from Mediterranean waters off Nice. Originally named Alteromonas citrea, nearly two decades later it was reclassified as part of the Genus Pseudoalteromonas.
Pseudoalteromonas denitrificans is a marine bacterium.
Pseudoalteromonas distincta is a marine bacterium.
Pseudoalteromonas espejiana is a marine bacterium.
Pseudoalteromonas flavipulchra is a rod-shaped gram-negative marine bacterium.
Pseudoalteromonas aliena is a marine, aerobic, heterotrophic bacterium that has been collected from Amur Bay.
Pseudoalteromonas arctica is a marine bacterium collected from Spitzbergen in the Arctic.
Pseudoalteromonas byunsanensis is a marine bacterium "isolated from tidal flat sediment of Byunsan, South Korea."
Pseudoalteromonas marina is a marine bacterium isolated from tidal sediment near Chungnam.
Beta porphyranase is an enzyme responsible for the degradation of porphyran, which composes the cell wall of red algae. So far only five β-porphyranases have been identified: PorA and PorB are found in the marine bacteria Zobellia galactinovirans. A wild-type porphyranase activity has been found in Pseudoalteromonas atlantica. BpGH16B and BpGH86A have been found in the human gut bacterium, Bacteroides plebeius, of Japanese individuals.
Winogradskyella is a genus of bacteria from the family Flavobacteriaceae. Winogradskyella is named after the Russian microbiologist Sergei Winogradsky.
