Abstract excerpt
A polyphasic approach was used to characterize a bacterium, HAN-85(T), isolated from thermal water in natural thermal spring at Tozeur, an oasis in southwest Tunisia. The novel isolate was thermophilic, strictly aerobic and amylolytic bacterium, which stained Gram negative. Cells were short rods motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Their optimum temperature and pH required for growth were 55 degrees C and...
