Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A polyphasic taxonomic study was carried out on the rod-shaped, orange-pigmented strain C11T, isolated from gold mine tailings. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene showed a relatedness to Brevundimonas, with a 98.4% and 98.2% similarity to Brevundimonas bacteroides and Brevundimonas variabilis, respectively. The average nucleotide identity and a digital DNA–DNA hybridization with the closest phylogenetic neighbor of strain C11T indicate distinction at the species level, further confirmed by the differences in physiology. C18:1 ω7c is the dominant cellular fatty acid. Its DNA G + C content is 68.3 mol %. Its predominant ubiquinone is Q-10; 1,2-Di-O-acyl-3-O-α-D-glucopyranuronosyl glycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, 1,2-di-O-acyl-3-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl glycerol, and 1,2-di-O-acyl-3-O-[D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-D-glucopyranuronosyl] glycerol are its major polar lipid constituents. This bacterium produces bacteriochlorophyll a and tolerates high concentrations of (μg/mL) the following: tellurium (>1500), selenium (1000 to >5000), and vanadium (>5000) oxyanions. The data support the inclusion of the strain C11T into the genus Brevundimonas as a new species with the proposed name Brevundimonas aurifodinae sp. nov. (C11T = NRRL B-65718T; =DSM 118059T).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
