| desulfotomaculum arcticum sp. nov., a novel spore-forming, moderately thermophilic, sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from a permanently cold fjord sediment of svalbard. | strain 15t is a novel spore-forming, sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from a permanently cold fjord sediment of svalbard. sulfate could be replaced by sulfite or thiosulfate. hydrogen, formate, lactate, propionate, butyrate, hexanoate, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, pyruvate, malate, succinate, fumarate, proline, alanine and glycine were used as electron donors in the presence of sulfate. growth occurred with pyruvate as sole substrate. optimal growth was observed at ph 7.1-7.5 and con ... | 2006 | 16585677 |
