Abstract excerpt
A novel thermophilic, anaerobic bacterium, strain RASEN(T), was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney sample collected in the Iheya North field, Okinawa Trough, Japan, at a water depth of 982 m. The cells were motile, Gram-negative and helical with hooked ends, 0.23-0.28x15-27 microm in size with an approximate wavelength of 1.1-1.5 microm. Growth of the strain was observed at 37-60 degrees C...
