Identification and Characterization of Pediococcus Species from Piper betle (Betel) Leaves.

abstract：:We report on a novel bacterium, isolated during a screen for environmental isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis, that possesses a novel filamentous structure. Nucleotide sequence from the isolate's 16S rRNA gene places the bacterium unambiguously within the Bacillus thuringiensis/Bacillus cereus group. Phase-contrast an...
