| methanocalculus chunghsingensis sp. nov., isolated from an estuary and a marine fishpond in taiwan. | three novel halotolerant, hydrogenotrophic methanogens, designated strains k1f9705bt, k1f9705c and o1f9704a, were isolated from an estuary in eriln shi, taiwan, and from a nearby marine water aquaculture fishpond. these isolates were irregular cocci that stained gram-negative. strains k1f9705bt and k1f9705c were non-motile, but strain o1f9704a was weakly motile with flagella. they were able to use formate and h2/co2 to form methane, but they could not catabolize acetate, methanol, trimethylamine ... | 2004 | 14742478 |
| methanocalculus taiwanensis sp. nov., isolated from an estuarine environment. | two novel hydrogenotrophic methanogens, designated strains p2f9704at and p2f9705, were isolated from an estuary in eriln shi, taiwan. the cells of strain p2f9704at were non-motile, irregular cocci 0.9-1.4 microm in diameter. they stained gram-negative. the cells catabolized formate and h2+co2 to produce methane, but did not utilize acetate, methanol, trimethylamine, ethanol or secondary alcohols as methanogenic substrates. the optimal growth parameters for strain p2f9704at were ph 6.7, 37 degree ... | 2002 | 12361289 |
