Abstract:
A Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, non-motile, non-spore-forming, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated 17S1E7T, was isolated from the Han River, Republic of Korea, and characterized by polyphasic taxonomy analyses. Strain 17S1E7T grew optimally on tryptic soy agar at 37 °C and pH 7.0 in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain 17S1E7T belonged to the genus Chryseobacterium and was most closely related to Chryseobacterium culicis DSM 23031T (98.54 %). The average nucleotide identity value of strain 17S1E7T was 91.1 % to Chryseobacterium culicis DSM 23031T, which was lower than the cut-off of 95-96 %. The DNA G+C content of strain 17S1E7T was 37.4 mol%. Flexirubin-type pigments were produced. The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone 6. The major fatty acids of strain 17S1E7T were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c). The predominant polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. Based on polyphasic taxonomy data, strain 17S1E7T represents a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium, for which the name Chryseobacterium aureum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 17S1E7T (=KACC 19920T=JCM 33165T).

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
