| dethiosulfovibrio salsuginis sp. nov., an anaerobic, slightly halophilic bacterium isolated from a saline spring. | a mesophilic, strictly anaerobic, slightly halophilic bacterium, designated strain usba 82(t), was isolated from a terrestrial saline spring in the colombian andes. the non-spore-forming curved rods (5-7 x 1.3 microm) with pointed or rounded ends, stained gram-negative and were motile by means of laterally inserted flagella. the strain grew optimally at 30 degrees c (growth range 20-40 degrees c), ph 7.3 (growth range ph 5.5-8.5) and 2 % (w/v) nacl (growth range 0.1-7 % nacl). the strain ferment ... | 2010 | 19661517 |
