A novel moderately thermophilic, organotrophic, microaerophilic, facultatively chemolithotrophic bacterium, designated strain 506(T), was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent site at 13 degrees N in the East Pacific Rise. Cells were Gram-negative, non-motile rods. The organism grew in the temperature range 40-68 degrees C, with an optimum at 60 degrees C, and in the pH range 5.5-8.4, with an optimum around...
