| desulfovibrio idahonensis sp. nov., sulfate-reducing bacteria isolated from a metal(loid)-contaminated freshwater sediment. | two novel sulfate-reducing bacteria, strains cy1t and cy2, were isolated from heavy-metal-contaminated sediments of lake coeur d'alene, idaho, usa. strains cy1t and cy2 were found to contain c-type cytochromes and to reduce sulfate, sulfite, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, dmso, anthraquinone disulfonate and fumarate using lactate as an electron donor. in a comparison of 16s rrna gene sequences, cy1t and cy2 were found to be 100% identical, but only 97 and 92.4% similar, respectively, to the type ... | 2009 | 19605721 |
