| Abstract |
An actinobacterium strain BMG51109a was isolated from surface sterilized root nodules of Casuarina glauca collected in Tunisia. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BMG51109a showed most similarity (96.53-96.55 %) to the type strains of Nocardia transvalensis, N. aobensis and N. elegans. Chemotaxonomic analysis supported the assignment of the strain to Nocardia genus. The major menaquinone was MK-8(H4c) while the polar lipid profile contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, glycophospholipid, phosphatidylinositol, one uncharacterized phospholipid and three glycolipids. Whole-cell sugar analysis revealed the presence of meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose and galactose as diagnostic sugars, complemented by glucose, mannose and ribose. The major cellular fatty acids were tuberculostearic, oleic, palmitoleic and stearic acids. Physiological and biochemical tests showed that strain BMG51109a could be clearly distinguished from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. On the basis of these results, strain BMG51109a(T) (= DSM 45978(T) = CECT 8469(T)) is proposed as the type strain of the novel species Nocardia casuarinae sp. nov. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 December 2014.
All research outputs
#20,247,117
of 22,775,504 outputs
Outputs from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#1,736
of 2,023 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#194,960
of 228,077 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#28
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,775,504 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,023 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 228,077 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
