Abstract excerpt
Four novel, thermoacidophilic, crenarchaeotic cocci that grew anaerobically and heterotrophically were isolated from an acidic hot spring in the Philippines; two representative strains were characterized in detail. Most cells were regular cocci, 0.8-1.1 microm in width, which occurred singly or in pairs. They were non-motile and grew at 45-80 degrees C (optimum 70-75 degrees C) and pH 2.3-5.4 (optimum 3.5-4.0)....
