Abstract excerpt
Two novel filamentous bacterial isolates, strains WR-30T and WR-220, with an optimum growth temperature of approximately 55-60 degrees C were isolated from Wu-rai hot springs in the northern part of Taiwan. These isolates were aerobic, thermophilic, non-sporulating, red-pigmented and heterotrophic and formed extremely long, filamentous trichomes from cells of different lengths. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA,...
