MeSH Review:

Deltaproteobacteria

Welcome! If you are familiar with the subject of this article, you can contribute to this open access knowledge base by deleting incorrect information, restructuring or completely rewriting any text. Read more.

Disease relevance of Deltaproteobacteria

RS-1 therefore disrupts the correlation between the alpha-Proteobacteria and possession of magnetite inclusions, and that between the delta-Proteobacteria and possession of greigite inclusions [1].
Highly conserved regulon HcpR for the hybrid cluster protein and some other redox enzymes is present in diverse anaerobic bacteria, including Clostridia, Thermotogales, and delta-proteobacteria [2].

High impact information on Deltaproteobacteria

We have employed a maximum likelihood and a maximum parsimony approach to detect evidence of positive Darwinian selection in Omp85 homologues from 10 delta-proteobacteria and have identified 14 amino acid sites that show evidence of being under the influence of adaptive evolution [3].
An organism represented by an rrnA sequence previously retrieved from Mono Lake and affiliated with the Desulfobulbaceae (Deltaproteobacteria) appears to be an important member of the arsenate-reducing, sulfide-oxidizing community [4].
A sixth phylotype belonging to the delta-Proteobacteria (Delta 3 symbiont) was found in only one of the two host populations [5].
Alignment of 16S rRNA sequences indicated that strain MLMS-1 was in the delta-Proteobacteria, located near sulfate reducers like Desulfobulbus sp. (88 to 90% similarity) but more closely related (97%) to unidentified sequences amplified previously from Mono Lake. However, strain MLMS-1 does not grow with sulfate as its electron acceptor [6].
The isolate, designated strain K1, is a member of the delta proteobacteria and is related to other known sulfur and ferric iron reducers [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Deltaproteobacteria

To test the hypothesis that cells were extracted without phylogenetic bias, the relative abundance (depth distribution) of five major divisions of the gram-negative mesophilic sulfate-reducing delta proteobacteria were determined in sediments maintained in a tidal mesocosm system [8].

Biological context of Deltaproteobacteria

In particular, a number of 16S rRNA gene clones of oceanic sulfate-reducing bacteria within the delta-Proteobacteria predominated at the OAE layer [9].

Gene context of Deltaproteobacteria

The results suggest that RS-1 is a member of the delta-Proteobacteria, and it appears to represent a new genus [1].
