| thermophily in the geobacteraceae: geothermobacter ehrlichii gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel thermophilic member of the geobacteraceae from the "bag city" hydrothermal vent. | little is known about the microbiology of the "bag city" hydrothermal vent, which is part of a new eruption site on the juan de fuca ridge and which is notable for its accumulation of polysaccharide on the sediment surface. a pure culture, designated strain ss015, was recovered from a vent fluid sample from the bag city site through serial dilution in liquid medium with malate as the electron donor and fe(iii) oxide as the electron acceptor and then isolation of single colonies on solid fe(iii) ... | 2003 | 12732575 |
| growth of thermophilic and hyperthermophilic fe(iii)-reducing microorganisms on a ferruginous smectite as the sole electron acceptor. | recent studies have suggested that the structural fe(iii) within phyllosilicate minerals, including smectite and illite, is an important electron acceptor for fe(iii)-reducing microorganisms in sedimentary environments at moderate temperatures. the reduction of structural fe(iii) by thermophiles, however, has not previously been described. a wide range of thermophilic and hyperthermophilic archaea and bacteria from marine and freshwater environments that are known to reduce poorly crystalline fe ... | 2008 | 17981937 |
