Abstract excerpt

An obligately anaerobic, spore-forming, Gram-type-positive but Gram-staining-negative thermophilic bacterium, strain JW/YJL-F3(T), was isolated from a Fijian hot spring sediment sample. Cells of strain JW/YJL-F3(T) were straight to slightly curved rods, 0.5-1.2 microm in diameter and 1.5-19 microm long. The temperature range for growth was between 40 and 67 degrees C, with an optimum at 60-63 degrees C. The pH(25...
