AbstractIn this paper, a compound equation which is a mix of the Wadati–Konno–Ichikawa (WKI) equation and the short‐pulse (SP) equation is first studied. By transforming both the independent and dependent variables in the equation, we introduce a novel hodograph transformation to convert the compound WKI–SP equation into the mKdV–SG (modified Korteweg–de Vries and sine‐Gordon) equation. The multiloop soliton solutions in the form of the parametric representation are found. It is shown that the ‐loop soliton solution may be decomposed exactly into separate soliton elements by using a Moloney–Hodnett‐type decomposition. By virtue of the decomposed soliton solutions, the asymptotic behaviors of and are investigated in detail. The corresponding phase shifts of each loop or antiloop soliton caused by its interaction with the other ones are calculated. Furthermore, a new hierarchy of WKI–SP‐type equations possessing multiloop soliton solutions is constructed. These deduced equations are all with time‐varying coefficients and the corresponding dispersion relation will have a time‐dependent velocity. The whole hierarchy of equations which include the WKI‐type equations, the SP‐type equations, and the compound generalized WKI–SP equations, are illustrated Lax integrable. The specific equation in the hierarchy is labeled as equation so that its Lax pairs can be directly written out with the help of and . A unified hodograph transformation is established to relate the compound WKI–SP hierarchy with the mKdV–SG hierarchy.

ABSTRACT Neonatal meningitis-causing Escherichia coli isolates (SP-4, SP-5, SP-13, SP-46, and SP-65) were recovered between 1989 and 1997 from infants in the Netherlands. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of these five E. coli isolates, which are currently being used to validate food safety processing technologies.
Twelve Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, rod-shaped and motile strains (CY7WT, CY18WT, CY22WT, FT31WT, FT137WT, FT147WT, BYS50W, BYS107WT, LFS511WT, LX15WT, LX22WT and NL8WT) were isolated from streams in China. Comparisons based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains take species of genus Undibacterium as close neighbours. The reconstructed phylogenetic and phylogenomic trees also showed that these strains cluster with species of genus Undibacterium together. The genome G+C contents of these strains were in the range of 45.3 to 53.3 mol%. The calculated pairwise OrthoANIu values and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values among these strains and related strains were in the range of 70.4 to 94.1% and 19.3 to 55.3% except that the values between strains CY7WT and BYS50W were 99.0 and 91.8 %, respectively. Q-8 was their predominant respiratory quinone. C16 : 1 ω7c and C16 : 0 were their major fatty acids. Their polar lipids profiles were similar, including phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phospholipid and two kinds of unidentified aminolipids. Combining polyphasic taxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic relationships, twelve strains should represent eleven independent novel species of genus Undibacterium , for which the names Undibacterium baiyunense sp. nov. (type strain BYS107WT=GDMCC 1.2453T=KCTC 82653T), Undibacterium curvum sp. nov. (type strain CY22WT=GDMCC 1.1906T=KACC 21951T), Undibacterium fentianense sp. nov. (type strain FT137WT=GDMCC 1.2456T=KCTC 82656T), Undibacterium flavidum sp. nov. (type strain LX15WT=GDMCC 1.1910T=JCM 34286T), Undibacterium griseum sp. nov. (type strain FT31WT=GDMCC 1.1908T=KACC 21953T), Undibacterium hunanense sp. nov. (type strain CY18WT=GDMCC 1.1904T=KACC 21949T), Undibacterium luofuense sp. nov. (type strain LFS511WT=GDMCC 1.2458T=KCTC 82658T), Undibacterium nitidum sp. nov. (type strain LX22WT=GDMCC 1.1912T=KACC 21957T), Undibacterium rivi sp. nov. (type strain FT147WT=GDMCC 1.2457T=KCTC 82657T), Undibacterium rugosum sp. nov. (type strain CY7WT=GDMCC 1.1903T=KACC 21961T) and Undibacterium umbellatum sp. nov. (type strain NL8WT=GDMCC 1.1915T=KACC 21960T) are proposed.

<p>Phytoplankton has high level of biodiversity. In previous years phytoplankton was identified by their morphological characters. However, their morphology might change in different environments. These difficulties can be overcome by comparing their 18S rDNA sequences. This research is aimed to verify the identity of Melosira sp., Dunaliella sp., Isochrysis sp. and Porphyridium sp. Here, PCR method was used to amplify 18s DNA sequences. Three primer pairs were used, i.e. 18S-F and 18S-R; 501F and 1700R; 18S-2F and 18S-2R. PCR products were sequenced. MEGA5 was used to make phylogenetic tree. Genus verification for Isochrysis sp., Dunaliella sp. and Melosira sp. were conducted successfully using Blast and phylogenetic tree. 18s DNA sequence of Porphyridium sp. shows an interesting result and needs further verification.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: Phytoplankton, Melosira sp., Dunaliella sp., Isochrysis sp., Porphyridium sp.</p>
A polyphasic study was undertaken to determine the taxonomic status of six strains received asStreptomyces hygroscopicus. The strains had chemotaxonomic and morphological properties typical of members of the genusStreptomycesand formed distinct phyletic lines in theStreptomyces16S rRNA gene tree. These strains were distinguished from one another and from phylogenetically close neighbours using a combination of phenotypic properties. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that all six strains form distinct centres of taxonomic variation within the genusStreptomyces. The following novel species are proposed to accommodate the strains:Streptomyces aldersoniaesp. nov. (type strain DSM 41909T=NRRL 18513T),Streptomyces angustmyceticussp. nov., comb. nov. (type strain DSM 41683T=NRRL B-2347T),Streptomyces ascomycinicussp. nov. (type strain DSM 40822T=NBRC 13981T),Streptomyces decoyicussp. nov., comb. nov. (type strain DSM 41427T=NRRL 2666T),Streptomyces milbemycinicussp. nov. (type strain DSM 41911T=NRRL 5739T) andStreptomyces wellingtoniaesp. nov. (type strain DSM 40632T=NRRL B-1503T).
