Branhamella

 [bran″hah-mel´ah]
Moraxella (Branhamella).

Branhamella

(bran'hă-mel'ă),
A subgenus of aerobic, nonmotile, non-spore-forming bacteria containing gram-negative cocci that occur in pairs with adjacent sides flattened; these organisms are currently considered closely related to the genus Moraxella. They occur in the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. The type species is Branhamella catarrhalis.

(bran-hă-mel'ă)
A subgenus of aerobic, nonmotile, non-spore-forming bacteria containing gram-negative cocci that occur in pairs with adjacent sides flattened. They are found in the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and occasionally cause respiratory infections and otitis media.

Bacterial species such as branhamella cotarrhalis brochothrix, micrococcus lutells and bacillus firmus were found capable of growing in solid media supplemented with indulin AT (a polymeric industrial Lignin) (Kumar etal., 2001) Lignocelluloses Biomass can be utilized to produce ethanol promising alternate energy source for the limited crude oil The quantity of coir waste produced is so enormous making its disposal difficult because of its high lignocellulose and slow degradation in natural environment Lignin degradation was studied following the materialization of a synthetic 14C[beta]-labeled lignin (Side chain labeled dehydrogenation polymer, DHP)
