Abstract excerpt
A novel anaerobic, long-chain alkene-degrading, sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain LM2801T, was isolated from brackish sediment of a wastewater decantation facility of an oil refinery (Berre lagoon, France). Cells of strain LM2801T were Gram-negative, motile, slightly curved or vibrioid rods. Its optimum growth conditions were 30-36 degrees C, 6-10 g NaCl l(-1) and pH 7.5. Strain LM2801T incompletely oxidized...
