Abstract excerpt
Strictly anaerobic, thermophilic bacteria (strains SL24T, SL25T, SL27, SL29 and SL32) were isolated from a deep, continental oil reservoir in Western Siberia (Russia). These motile, rod-shaped organisms were surrounded by a sheath-like structure, a feature characteristic of the Thermotogales. On the basis of partial 16S rDNA sequences (500 nucleotides), strains SL25T, SL27, SL29 and SL32 were identical....
