Abstract excerpt
A novel, strictly anaerobic, thermophilic sulfur-reducing bacterium, strain 525T, was isolated from tubes of the deep-sea hydrothermal vent polychaete Alvinella pompejana, collected on the East Pacific Rise (13 degrees N). This organism grew in the temperature range 37-68 degrees C, the optimum being 53 degrees C, and in the pH range 6.4-7.4, the optimum being 6.8-7.0. The NaCl range for growth was 0.8-5.0%, the...
