Rhodoferax fermentans is a psychrophilic, motile bacterium from the genus Rhodoferax . [3] It is a photosynthetic bacteria.
Acidobacteria is a phylum of bacteria. Its members are physiologically diverse and ubiquitous, especially in soils, but are under-represented in culture.
Actinotalea is a genus in the phylum Actinobacteria (Bacteria). As of 2015 the genus contains four described species, namely A. fermentans, formerly known as Cellulomonas fermentans.
Armatimonadetes is a phylum of gram-negative bacteria.
Geothrix fermentans is a rod-shaped, anaerobic bacterium. It is about 0.1 µm in diameter and ranges from 2-3 µm in length. Cell arrangement occurs singly and in chains. Geothrix fermentans can normally be found in aquatic sediments such as in aquifers. As an anaerobic chemoorganotroph, this organism is best known for its ability to use electron acceptors Fe(III), as well as other high potential metals. It also uses a wide range of substrates as electron donors. Research on metal reduction by G. fermentans has contributed to understanding more about the geochemical cycling of metals in the environment.
Rhodoferax antarcticus is a psychrophilic, phototrophic, nonsulfur, highly motile bacterium from the genus Rhodoferax, which was isolated from an Antarctic microbial mat in Ross Island.
Rhodoferax ferrireducens is a psychrotolerant bacterium from the genus Rhodoferax, which was isolated from the mud of Oyster Bay in Virginia.
Rhodoferax is a genus of Betaproteobacteria belonging to the purple nonsulfur bacteriarophic. Originally, Rhodoferax species were included in the genus Rhodocyclus as the Rhodocyclus gelatinous-like group. The genus Rhodoferax was first proposed in 1991 to accommodate the taxonomic and phylogenetic discrepancies arising from its inclusion in the genus Rhodocyclus. Rhodoferax currently comprises four described species: R. fermentans, R. antarcticus, R. ferrireducens, and R. saidenbachensis. R. ferrireducens, lacks the typical phototrophic character common to two other Rhodoferax species. This difference has led researchers to propose the creation of a new genus, Albidoferax, to accommodate this divergent species. The genus name was later corrected to Albidiferax. Based on geno- and phenotypical characteristics, A. ferrireducens was reclassified in the genus Rhodoferax in 2014. R. saidenbachensis, a second non-phototrophic species of the genus Rhodoferax was described by Kaden et al. in 2014.
Mycoplasma fermentans is a very small bacterium in the class Mollicutes. Like other mycoplasmas M. fermentans is characterized by the absence of a peptidoglycan cell wall and resulting resistance to many antibacterial agents. It is a possible human pathogen with roles suggested in many illness such as respiratory, genital, and rheumatoid diseases among others. Investigations have focused on a possible link to it being a cofactor in HIV infection as well as fibromyalgia, Gulf War syndrome and Chronic fatigue syndrome, however the belief that M. fermentans is pathogenic in such conditions has largely been disregarded after the failure of several large scale studies to find a link. Due to its incredibly small size it is difficult to determine the full extent of its role in human diseases, while M. fermentans has been implicated in a myriad of diseases, research at the current point has not conclusively proven its pathogenicity in humans outside of opportunistic infections.
Dyadobacter is a genus of gram negative rod-shaped bacteria belonging to the family Spirosomaceae in the phylum Bacteroidetes. Typical traits of the genus include yellow colony colour, positive flexirubin test and non-motile behaviours. They possess an anaerobic metabolism, can utilise a broad range of carbon sources, and test positive for peroxide catalase activity. The type species is Dyadobacter fermentans, which was isolated from surface sterilised maize leaves,.
Dyadobacter fermentans is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus of Dyadobacter which has been isolated from the stem of a Zea mays plant.
Macellibacteroides fermentans is a non-spore-forming, obligately anaerobic, rod-shaped and mesophilic bacterium from the genus of Macellibacteroides which has been isolated from an upflow anaerobic filter fore treating abattoir wastewaters in Tunisia.
Brachybacterium tyrofermentans is a species of Gram positive, facultatively anaerobic, pale yellow-pigmented bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. It was first isolated from the surfaces of Beaufort and Gruyère cheeses in 1978, along with Brachybacterium alimentarium. Further work led to the proposal of the new species in 1996, and the name is derived from the Latin tyros (cheese) and fermentans (leavening), referring to the fermented cheese from which it was first isolated.
Geobacter argillaceus is a non-spore-forming and motile bacterium from the genus of Geobacter which has been isolated from kaolin clay.
Tepidibacillus is a genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae.
Tepidibacillus fermentans is a Gram-positive, moderately thermophilic, spore-forming and motile bacterium from the genus of Tepidibacillus which has been isolated from an underground gas storage in Severo-Stavropolskoye in Russia.
Demequina aestuarii is a bacterium from the genus of Demequina which has been isolated from tidal flat sediments from Korea.
Saccharicrinis carchari is a Gram-negative and facultative anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Saccharicrinis which has been isolated from the gill of a dead shark from the Yellow Sea in China.
Rhodoferax saidenbachensis is a Gram-negative and rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Rhodoferax which has been isolated from fresh water of the Saidenbach reservoir in Germany.
Halanaerobium fermentans is a Gram-negative and strictly anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Halanaerobium which has been isolated from puffer fish ovaries.
Roseiarcaceae is a family of Alphaproteobacteria.
