Abstract excerpt
A new thermophilic spore-forming strain Ge1(T) was isolated from the Guclukonak hot spring in Sırnak, Turkey. The strain was identified by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain Ge1(T) was Gram-positive, spore-forming, alkaliphilic rod-shaped, motile, occurring in pairs or filamentous. Growth was observed between 30 and 65°C (optimum 60°C) and at pH 5.5-10.0 (optimum pH 9.0). It was capable of utilizing...
