| fuchsiella alkaliacetigena gen. nov., sp. nov., the first alkaliphilic, lithoautotrophic homoacetogenic bacterium. | the first alkaliphilic obligately anaerobic hydrogenotrophic homoacetogenic bacterium strain z-7100(t) was isolated from sediments of the soda-depositing soda lake tanatar iii (altay, russia). cells were thin, flexible rods, motile, gram-negative, spore-forming. the organism was an obligately alkaliphile with a ph growth range from 8.5 to 10.5 and optimum at 8.8-9.3 and grew in soda brines containing 1.9-4.7m total na(+) (optimum at 2.8-3.3 m). it exhibited an obligate dependence upon sodium car ... | 2011 | 21908678 |
