balnearium lithotrophicum gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel thermophilic, strictly anaerobic, hydrogen-oxidizing chemolithoautotroph isolated from a black smoker chimney in the suiyo seamount hydrothermal system.	a novel, extremely thermophilic bacterium, designated strain 17s(t), was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney at the suiyo seamount in the izu-bonin arc, japan. the cells were rods with no apparent motility, most of which were narrow in the middle in the exponential-growth phase and had several polar flagella at both ends. growth was observed between 45 and 80 degrees c (optimum temperature, 70-75 degrees c; doubling time, 80 min) and between ph 5.0 and 7.0 (optimum ph, 5.4). the i ...	2003	14657128
polyamine analysis for chemotaxonomy of thermophilic eubacteria: polyamine distribution profiles within the orders aquificales, thermotogales, thermodesulfobacteriales, thermales, thermoanaerobacteriales, clostridiales and bacillales.	cellular polyamines of 45 thermophilic and 8 related mesophilic eubacteria were investigated by hplc and gc analyses for the thermophilic and chemotaxonomic significance of polyamine distribution profiles. spermidine and a quaternary branched penta-amine, n4-bis(aminopropyl)norspermidine, were the major polyamine in thermocrinis, hydrogenobacter, hydrogenobaculum, aquifex, persephonella, sulfurihydrogenibium, hydrogenothermus, balnearium and thermovibrio, located in the order aquificales. thermo ...	2004	15747232
desulfurobacterium atlanticum sp. nov., desulfurobacterium pacificum sp. nov. and thermovibrio guaymasensis sp. nov., three thermophilic members of the desulfurobacteriaceae fam. nov., a deep branching lineage within the bacteria.	three thermophilic, anaerobic, strictly chemolithoautotrophic, sulphur- and/or thiosulphate-reducing bacteria, designated sl17(t), sl19(t) and sl22(t), were isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal samples collected at 13 degrees n (east pacific rise), guaymas basin (gulf of california) and 23 degrees n (mid-atlantic ridge), respectively. these strains differed in their morphology, temperature range and optimum for growth, energy substrates and 16s rrna gene sequences. the g+c content of the genomic ...	2006	17158986
phorcysia thermohydrogeniphila gen. nov., sp. nov., a thermophilic, chemolithoautotrophic, nitrate-ammonifying bacterium from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the east pacific rise.	a novel hyperthermophilic, anaerobic, chemolithoautotrophic bacterium, designated strain hb-8t, was isolated from the tube of alvinella pompejana tubeworms collected from the wall of an actively venting sulfide structure on the east pacific rise at 13° n. the cells were gram-negative rods approximately 1-1.5 µm in length and 0.5 µm in width. strain hb-8t grew between 65 and 80 °c (optimum 75 °c), 15 and 35 g nacl l-1 (optimum 30 g l-1) and ph 4.5 and 8.5 (optimum ph 6.0). generation time under o ...	2011	22140151
