| marinobacter alkaliphilus sp. nov., a novel alkaliphilic bacterium isolated from subseafloor alkaline serpentine mud from ocean drilling program site 1200 at south chamorro seamount, mariana forearc. | novel alkaliphilic, mesophilic bacteria were isolated from subseafloor alkaline serpentine mud from the ocean drilling program (odp) hole 1200d at a serpentine mud volcano, south chamorro seamount in the mariana forearc. the cells of type strain odp1200d-1.5t were motile rods with a single polar flagellum. growth was observed between 10 and 45-50 degrees c (optimum temperature: 30-35 degrees c, 45-min doubling time), between ph 6.5 and 10.8-11.4 (optimum: ph 8.5-9.0), and between nacl concentrat ... | 2005 | 15322951 |
