The corynebacterial flora of the normal human conjunctiva is lipophilic.

Abstract:

:Corynebacterial isolates, obtained by selective and non-selective media from conjunctival swabs, were speciated by using two recently developed systems. All 25 strains from 92 individuals, as well as 12 strains from a previous similar study, belonged to lipophilic species. The significance of this unusual finding is discussed.

  • Flagellation of Shewanella oneidensis Impacts Bacterial Fitness in Different Environments.

    abstract::Flagella occur on many prokaryotes, which primarily propel cells to move from detrimental to favorable environments. A variety of species-specific flagellation patterns have been identified. Although it is presumed that for each of these flagellated microorganisms, an evolutionarily fixed flagellation pattern is favor...
