Abstract excerpt
A novel extremely thermophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, strain LS12-2(T), was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal field at the Yonaguni Knoll IV, Southern Okinawa Trough. Cells of strain LS12-2(T) were motile rods, 1.5-4.0 microm in length and 0.4-0.5 microm in width. Strain LS12-2(T) was an obligate chemolithoautotroph that could utilize elemental sulfur or thiosulfate as an electron donor and nitrate or...
