Abstract excerpt
Three indigo-reducing obligately alkaliphilic strains, M3(T), 41A and 41C, were isolated. The isolates grew at pH 9-12, but not at pH 7-8. They were Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, straight rod-shaped strains with peritrichous flagella. The isolates grew in 0-14% (w/v) NaCl, with optimum growth at 3-13%. They grew at temperatures between 10 and 45 degrees C, with optimum growth at around 30-37 degrees C....
