| albidovulum inexpectatum gen. nov., sp. nov., a nonphotosynthetic and slightly thermophilic bacterium from a marine hot spring that is very closely related to members of the photosynthetic genus rhodovulum. | several bacterial isolates, with an optimum growth temperature of about 50 degrees c, were recovered from the marine hot spring at ferraria on the island of são miguel in the azores. the geothermal water emerged from a porous lava flow and rapidly cooled in contact with seawater except at low tide. the bacterial species represented by strains frr-10(t) and frr-11 was nonpigmented, strictly aerobic, and organotrophic. several genes, bchz, pufb, pufa, pufl, or pufm, encoding the photosynthetic rea ... | 2002 | 12200275 |
| identification of archaea and some extremophilic bacteria using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (maldi-tof) mass spectrometry. | archaea and a number of groups of environmentally important bacteria, e.g., sulfate-reducing bacteria, anoxygenic phototrophs, and some thermophiles, are difficult to characterize using current methods developed for phenotypically differentiating heterotrophic bacteria. we have evaluated matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (maldi-tof-ms) as a rapid method for identifying different groups of extremophilic prokaryotes using a linear mass spectrometer (micromass, uk). the ins ... | 2004 | 15042434 |
| Albidovulum xiamenense sp. nov., a new, moderately thermophilic bacterium from a terrestrial hot spring. | A new aerobic, motile, moderately thermophilic, rod-shaped bacterium, strain YBY-7(T), was isolated from a terrestrial hot spring of a garden exposition, located in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, the People's Republic of China. Strain YBY-7(T) was beige in color, Gram negative with polar flagella, and the organisms formed short rods that are 2-6 µm in length and 0.4-0.6 µm in width. The temperature and pH for growth of strain YBY-7(T) were 28-65°C (optimum, 50-58°C) and pH 6.5-9.5 (optimum, pH 7. ... | 2011 | 21890729 |
