Abstract excerpt
A novel thermo-acidophilic bacterium was isolated from an acidic beverage that had the odour of guaiacol. The cells are aerobic, gram-positive, spore-forming rods. The organism, strain TA-67T, grows at temperatures from 20 to 55 degrees C (optimum, 50 degrees C) and at pH values from 2.5 to 5.5 (optimum, pH 3.0). It possesses omega-cyclohexane fatty acid as a major cellular fatty acid. The G+C content of the DNA...
