| sulfur-oxidizing bacteria in soap lake (washington state), a meromictic, haloalkaline lake with an unprecedented high sulfide content. | culture-dependent and -independent techniques were used to study the diversity of chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria in soap lake (washington state), a meromictic, haloalkaline lake containing an unprecedentedly high sulfide concentration in the anoxic monimolimnion. both approaches revealed the dominance of bacteria belonging to the genus thioalkalimicrobium, which are common inhabitants of soda lakes. a dense population of thioalkalimicrobium (up to 10(7) cells/ml) was found at th ... | 2007 | 17114324 |
| thioalkalimicrobium cyclicum sp. nov. and thioalkalivibrio jannaschii sp. nov., novel species of haloalkaliphilic, obligately chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from hypersaline alkaline mono lake (california). | two strains of haloalkaliphilic, obligately autotrophic, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were isolated from the oxygen-sulfide interface water layer of stratified alkaline and saline mono lake, california, usa. strain alm 1t was a dominant species in enrichment on moderate-saline, carbonate-buffered medium (0.6 m total na+, ph 10) with thiosulfate as an energy source and nitrate as a nitrogen source. cells of alm 1t are open ring-shaped and are non-motile. it has a high growth rate and activity of thi ... | 2002 | 12054257 |
