Abstract excerpt
A taxonomic study was carried out on a metal-mobilizing, alkaliphilic bacterium from an alkaline slag dump, strain KBS6(T). The strain produced substrate and aerial mycelia. Growth occurred in the pH range 7.0-10.5, with an optimum at pH 8.5. A salt concentration of up to 10% was tolerated, and various organic substrates were used for growth. The results of a 16S rDNA sequence comparison revealed that strain...
