| schlegelella aquatica sp. nov., a novel thermophilic bacterium isolated from a hot spring. | a moderately thermophilic bacterial strain designated wcf1(t), isolated from a hot spring located in the tainan area, southern taiwan, was characterized using a polyphasic approach. the cells were gram-negative, non-pigmented, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and motile. phylogenetic analysis using 16s rrna gene sequences showed that the strain formed a monophyletic branch towards the periphery of the evolutionary radiation occupied by the genus schlegelella; its only close neighbour was the type s ... | 2006 | 17158979 |
