Nautilia nitratireducens sp. nov., a thermophilic, anaerobic, chemosynthetic, nitrate-ammonifying bacterium isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent.

Abstract excerpt

A thermophilic, anaerobic, chemosynthetic bacterium, designated strain MB-1(T), was isolated from the walls of an active deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney on the East Pacific Rise at degrees 50' N 10 degrees 17' W. The cells were Gram-negative-staining rods, approximately 1-1.5 mum long and 0.3-0.5 mum wide. Strain MB-1(T) grew at 25-65 degrees C (optimum 55 degrees C), with 10-35 g NaCl l(-1) (optimum 20 g...
