13. Comparative Cell Wall Analyses of Morphological Forms Within the Genus Actinomyces
Comparative cell wall analyses were made of mycelial and smooth forms of Actinomyces bovis and A. israelii to determine the changes which occur in the cell wall composition concurrent with a change in morphology, and to evaluate cell wall analyses as a criterion for taxonomic identification within the genus Actinomyces. Cell walls of the spider forms of A. b

14. Conservation of an Actinomyces viscosus T14V type 1 fimbrial subunit homolog among divergent groups of Actinomyces spp.
The type 1 fimbrial subunit gene of the human Actinomyces viscosus T14V was used as a DNA probe in Southern analyses to detect related DNA sequences in 16 of 30 strains of Actinomyces spp. under conditions of high stringency. The organisms with homology to the DNA probe included two human and six nonhuman A. viscosus, three human and three nonhuman A. naeslu

15. Nitrogen-Containing and Carbohydrate-Containing Antigen from Actinomyces bovis
Pirtle, E. C. (National Animal Disease Laboratory, Ames, Iowa), P. A. Rebers, and W. W. Weigel. Nitrogen-containing and carbohydrate-containing antigen from Actinomyces bovis. J. Bacteriol. 89:880–888. 1965.—Water-soluble, heat-stable antigens have been isolated from the supernatant fluids of broth cultures of Actinomyces bovis ATCC 10048 after 8 days of

16. IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIES OF ACTINOMYCES
Georg, Lucille K. (Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Ga.), Gordon W. Robertstad, and Sherry A. Brinkman. Identification of species of Actinomyces. J. Bacteriol. 88:477–490. 1964.—Four unusual isolates of Actinomyces species were compared with six control strains of well-identified Actinomyces species. Their oxygen requirements and their morphological

17. Isolation and Characterization of Actinomyces propionicus
Three cultures of Actinomyces have been identified as Actinomyces propionicus. Two of these strains are recent isolates, one, 427, from a case of cervico-facial actinomycosis, and one, 439, from a case of lacrimal canaliculitis. The third strain, 346, was described by F. Lentze as A. israelii serological type II. These three strains were compared with the ty

18. Quantitative Analysis of Actinomyces Cell Walls
Quantitative data on the amino acid composition of cell walls of five species of Actinomyces were obtained by using a Beckman-Spinco amino acid analyzer. The major amino acids in A. israelii, A. naeslundii, A. eriksonii, and A. bovis species included alanine, glutamic acid, lysine, aspartic acid, and ornithine, as reported by previous workers, whereas A. pro

19. Mechanism of gram variability in select bacteria.
Gram stains were performed on strains of Actinomyces bovis, Actinomyces viscosus, Arthrobacter globiformis, Bacillus brevis, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Clostridium tetani, Clostridium thermosaccharolyticum, Corynebacterium parvum, Mycobacterium phlei, and Propionibacterium acnes, using a modified Gram regimen that allowed the staining process to be observed

20. Measurement of microbial alpha-amylases with p-nitrophenyl glycosides as the substrate complex.
The detection of alpha-amylase is commonly used in clinical microbiology laboratories to aid in differentiating Streptococcus bovis from other streptococci. It is also useful in identifying Eikenella corrodens and the gravis subspecies of Corynebacterium diphtheriae and in separating species of the genera Bacteroides, Clostridium, Actinomyces, and Bacillus.

21. Binding of lectins to Streptococcus mutans cells and type-specific polysaccharides, and effect on adherence.
The lectin concanavalin A (Con A) agglutinated the cells of 13 of 15 strains of the seven serotypes of Streptococcus mutans in an 18-h incubation period. Strains of types a, d, f, and g agglutinated within 2 h. Strains of a, d, and f were also agglutinated in 2 h by the castor bean lectin RCA. S. sanguis, S. salivarius, S. bovis, Actinomyces viscosus, A. nae

22. Cellular fatty acid composition as an adjunct to the identification of asporogenous, aerobic gram-positive rods.
Cellular fatty acid (CFA) compositions of 561 asporogenous, aerobic gram-positive rods were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography as an adjunct to their identification when grown on blood agar at 35 degrees C. The organisms could be divided into two groups. In the first group (branched-chain type), which included coryneform CDC groups A-3, A-4, and A-5; some
