Abstract

A Legionella-like organism (strain 214T [T = type strain]) was isolated from a cooling tower in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. This strain required L-cysteine and contained cellular branched-chain fatty acids that are typical of the genus Legionella. Strain 214T produced pink colonies on buffered charcoal-yeast extract agar. Ubiquinone Q-12 was the major quinone. Strain 214T was serologically distinct from other legionellae as determined by a slide agglutination test. The results of DNA hybridization studies showed that strain 214T (= ATCC 49655T) is a member of a new Legionella species, Legionella shakespearei.

摘要

从英国埃文河畔斯特拉特福的一座冷却塔中分离出一种类军团菌（菌株214T [T = 模式菌株]）。该菌株需要L-半胱氨酸，并且含有军团菌属典型的细胞支链脂肪酸。菌株214T在缓冲活性炭酵母提取物琼脂上产生粉红色菌落。泛醌Q-12是主要醌类。通过玻片凝集试验确定，菌株214T在血清学上与其他军团菌不同。DNA杂交研究结果表明，菌株214T（= ATCC 49655T）是军团菌新物种——莎士比亚军团菌的一个成员。
