Abstract excerpt
A novel obligately anaerobic, hyperthermophilic, organotrophic archaeon, designated strain 1221n(T), was isolated from a hot spring of Uzon Caldera (Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia). Cells of strain 1221n(T) were non-motile regular cocci, 0.6-1 mum in diameter. The temperature range for growth at pH 6.5 was 65-87 degrees C, with an optimum at 85 degrees C. The pH range for growth at 85 degrees C was 5.5-7.5, with an...
