Gordonia (bacterium)
''Gordonia'' is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria, gram-positive, aerobic, catalase-positive bacterium in the Actinomycetota, closely related to the ''Rhodococcus'', ''Mycobacterium'', and ''Nocardia'' genera. It is from the same lineage that includes ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis''. The genus was discovered by Tsukamura in 1971 and named after American bacteriologist Ruth Gordon (bacteriologist), Ruth Gordon.. Many species are often found in the soil and are rarely known to cause infections in humans. Some investigations have found that 28 °C is the ideal temperature for the growth of ''Gordonia'' bacteria. Some species of ''Gordonia'', such as ''Gordonia rubripertincta'', produce colonies that have a bright orange or orange-red color. Some strains of ''Gordonia'' have recently garnered interest in the biotechnology industry due to their ability to degrade environmental pollutants. Species ''Gordonia'' comprises the following species: * ''Gordonia aichiensis, G. aichiensi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gordonia (synapsid)
''Gordonia'' is an extinct genus of dicynodont therapsid from the Late Permian of Scotland. Fossils have been found from the Elgin sandstone of Cutties Hillock Quarry in Elgin, Moray. These are among the many amniote fossils referred to as the Elgin Reptiles. ''Gordonia'' was named in 1893 with four species: ''G. traquairi'', ''G. duffiana'', ''G. huxleyana'', and ''G. juddiana''. Currently, the only recognized species is the type ''G. traquairi''. All other species are considered synonyms of the type. Description ''Gordonia'' is known from several skulls and partial skeletons. It is small-bodied in comparison to other dicynodonts. It is distinguished by the rod-like shape of a ridge on its lower jaw called the lateral dentary shelf. ''Gordonia'' has a short snout with tusks that are angled slightly forward. The intertemporal region at the top of the skull is long and narrow and forms a raised sagittal crest. A long intertemporal region is usually associated with larger dicyno ...

The Province of the Cape of Good Hope ( af, Provinsie Kaap die Goeie Hoop), commonly referred to as the Cape Province ( af, Kaapprovinsie) and colloquially as The Cape ( af, Die Kaap), was a province in the Union of South Africa and subsequently the Republic of South Africa. It encompassed the old Cape Colony, as well as Walvis Bay, and had Cape Town as its capital.
