The effect of the concentration of a mixture (1/1 (wt/wt)) of yeast extract and bioTrypcase (YE+bT) on the growth and physiology of a new species, #Bacillus thermoamylovorans$, a moderately thermophilic, non-spore-forming, lactic-acid producing bacterium isolated from palm wine, was studied. At an initial glucose concentration of 100mM, #B. thermoa...
A new thermophilic, xylanolytic, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, strain SEBR 7054(T), was isolated from an African oil-producing well. Based on the presence of an outer sheath (toga) and 16S rRNA sequence analysis data, this organism was identified as a member of the genus #Thermotoga$. Strain SEBR 7054(T) possessed lateral flagella, had ...
#Thermoanaerobacter brockii$, #T. ethanolicus$, #T. thermohydrosulfuricus$, #T. finnii$, and #Thermoanaerobacter$ strain SEBR 5268 (an isolate from an oil-producting well) were studied for their ability to oxidize proteinaceous compounds that included gelatin, peptides, and casamino acids. All bacteria tested used peptides and amino acids, but only...
A strictly anaerobic, thermophilic, gram-positive, spore-forming eubacterium designated strain SEBR 5268 was isolated from an oil field at a depth of 2,100 m, where the temperature was 92°C. The cells of this organism were gram-positive, straight, motile rods (0,5 by 2 to 3 micrometers) with peritrichous flagella. The cells occurred singly or in pa...
