Silicibacter lacuscaerulensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a mesophilic moderately halophilic bacterium characteristic of the Blue Lagoon geothermal lake in Iceland.

Extremophiles : life under extreme conditions - 1 May 1997

Petursdottir S K, Kristjansson J K

Abstract excerpt

Mesophilic, moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from a silica-rich geothermal lake, the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. The isolates are strictly aerobic, but reduce nitrate to nitrite, and are oxidase- and catalase-positive. The nonsporeforming and nonmotile Gram negative rods are 0.6-0.8 microm in diameter and variable in length (9-18 microm), and contain gas vacuoles. The GC content in their DNA is 66.15%....
