| isolation of sulfate-reducing bacteria from tunisian marine sediments and description of desulfovibrio bizertensis sp. nov. | several strains of sulfate-reducing bacteria were isolated from marine sediments recovered near tunis, korbous and bizerte, tunisia. they all showed characteristics consistent with members of the genus desulfovibrio. one of these strains, designated mb3(t), was characterized further. cells of strain mb3(t) were slender, curved, vibrio-shaped, motile, gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods. they were positive for desulfoviridin as bisulfite reductase. strain mb3(t) grew at temperatures of 15-45 de ... | 2006 | 17158997 |
