Typing Of Some Clinically Significant Nocardia Strains Using A Digoxigenin-Labelled Rdna Gene Probe, Kami̇l Işik, Nevzat Şahi̇n, Ergi̇n Kari̇ptaş, Michael Goofellow
Turkish Journal of Biology
In this study, ribotyping (restriction polymorphism ribosomal RNA analyses) was applied as a taxonomic tool for bacteria belonging to the genus Nocardia. A total of 21 Nocardia strains were clearly distinguished using a combination of EcoRV gene restriction endonuclease patterns together with a digoxigenin-labelled Streptomyces violaceoruber TK21 rDNA probe. Five distinct ribotypes were identified, and each ribotype contained 4 to 8 restriction fragments ranging in size from 1.2 to 20.7 kb. The evaluation of the results showed that N. brasiliensis, N. farcinica, N. otitidiscaviarum and N. seriolea are taxonomically well-established species, except N. pseudobrasiliensis. Therefore, it can be concluded that …

Macrofungi Of Ağrı Province, Kenan Demi̇rel, Yusuf Uzun, Abdullah Kaya
Turkish Journal of Botany
Macrofungi were collected during field trips in the Ağrı district between 1997 and 2000. At the end of field and laboratory studies, 45 taxa belonging to 3 classes and 18 families were identified. Three of these, Pluteus ephebeus (Fr.:Fr.) Gill. (Pluteaceae), Coprinus auricomus Pat. (Coprinaceae) and Inocybe tigrina Heim. (Cortinariaceae), are new records for the mycoflora of Turkey.

Macrofungi Of Değirmenboğazı (Balıkesir), Fadi̇me Yilmaz, Mustafa Işiloğlu
Turkish Journal of Botany
The macrofungi collected during field trips from the Değirmenboğazı picnic area between 1998 and 2001 were investigated taxonomically. As a result of these field and laboratory studies, 54 taxa belonging to 19 families were identified. These species are presented as a list. Eleven of these taxa are new records to the Turkish Macromycota.
An Investigation On Fish Fauna Of The River Mert (Samsun), Selma Uğurlu (Helli̇), Nazmi̇ Polat
An Investigation On Fish Fauna Of The River Mert (Samsun), Selma Uğurlu (Helli̇), Nazmi̇ Polat
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This study was carried out between May 1999 and June 2000 in order to determine the fish species of the River Mert. In total, 244 individuals from different sampling stations were caught by electric shock, scoop nets, fish nets and fishing lines. In this study, 3 species and 2 subspecies were identified as belonging to 3 families (Cyprinidae, Cobitidae, Gobiidae). The systematic characteristics of fish species were explained. These characteristics were then compared with those in previous studies, and keys to identification were also presented.

On The Distribution And Taxonomic Status Of Microtus Guentheri (Danford And Alston, 1880) And Microtus Lydius Blackler, 1916 (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Turkey, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t, Ercüment Çolak
On The Distribution And Taxonomic Status Of Microtus Guentheri (Danford And Alston, 1880) And Microtus Lydius Blackler, 1916 (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Turkey, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t, Ercüment Çolak
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Topotypes of Microtus guentheri were compared with specimens of the genus Microtus with 2n=54 chromosomes from western Anatolia. According to morphological and biometrical comparisons, it was determined that M. guentheri is a different species from Microtus lydius. The dorsal colour and the shape of the baculum distinguish M. guentheri from M. lydius morphologically. In addition, ear length, interorbital constriction, mastoid breadth, height of tympanic bulla and weight of M. guentheri were found to be statistically different from those of the nominate subspecies of M. lydius (p
