| bacillus subterraneus sp. nov., an iron- and manganese-reducing bacterium from a deep subsurface australian thermal aquifer. | a facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated strain cooi3b(t) (= atcc baa 136t = dsm 13966t), was isolated from the waters emitted by a bore well tapping the deep subterranean thermal waters of the great artesian basin of australia. the cells were straight to slightly curved rods (0.5-0.8 x 2-25 microm) that occurred singly and rarely in pairs or in chains. strain cooi3b(t) was motile by peritrichous flagella. it stained gram-negative, but electron micrographs showed a gram-positive-type cell ... | 2002 | 12054251 |
| microbial growth under supercritical co2. | growth of microorganisms in environments containing co2 above its critical point is unexpected due to a combination of deleterious effects, including cytoplasmic acidification and membrane destabilization. thus, supercritical co2 (scco2) is generally regarded as a sterilizing agent. we report isolation of bacteria from three sites targeted for geologic carbon dioxide sequestration (gcs) that are capable of growth in pressurized bioreactors containing scco2. analysis of 16s rrna genes from scco2 ... | 2015 | 25681188 |
| taxonomic description and genome sequence of bacillus campisalis sp. nov., a member of the genus bacillus isolated from a solar saltern. | the taxonomic position of a gram-stain positive bacterium isolated from a solar saltern sample collected from kanyakumari, coastal region of the bay of bengal, india, was analysed by using a polyphasic approach. the isolated strain, designated sa2-6t, had phenotypic characteristics that matched those of the genus bacillus. the 16s rrna gene sequence (1493 bases) of the novel strain was compared with those of previously studied bacillus type strains and confirmed that the strain belongs to the ge ... | 2015 | 26296567 |
| draft genome sequences of supercritical co2-tolerant bacteria bacillus subterraneus mitot1 and bacillus cereus mit0214. | we report draft genome sequences of bacillus subterraneus mitot1 and bacillus cereus mit0214 isolated through enrichment of samples from geologic sequestration sites in pressurized bioreactors containing a supercritical (sc) co2 headspace. their genome sequences expand the phylogenetic range of sequenced bacilli and allow characterization of molecular mechanisms of scco2 tolerance. | 2015 | 25858826 |
