| meiothermus taiwanensis sp. nov., a novel filamentous, thermophilic species isolated in taiwan. | two novel filamentous bacterial isolates, strains wr-30t and wr-220, with an optimum growth temperature of approximately 55-60 degrees c were isolated from wu-rai hot springs in the northern part of taiwan. these isolates were aerobic, thermophilic, non-sporulating, red-pigmented and heterotrophic and formed extremely long, filamentous trichomes from cells of different lengths. phylogenetic analysis of 16s rdna, dna-dna hybridization, morphological and biochemical features and fatty acid composi ... | 2002 | 12361269 |
