Thermodesulfobacterium hydrogeniphilum sp. nov., a thermophilic, chemolithoautotrophic, sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent at Guaymas Basin, and emendation of the genus Thermodesulfobacterium.

Abstract excerpt

A thermophilic, non-spore-forming, marine, sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain SL6T, was isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal sulfides collected at Guaymas Basin. The gram-negative-staining cells occurred singly or in pairs as small, highly motile rods. The temperature range for growth was 50-80 degrees C with an optimum at 75 degrees C. The pH range for growth at 70 degrees C was 6.3-6.8, with an optimum at 6.5....
