Or. Kotsyurbenko et al., NEW SPECIES OF PSYCHROPHILIC ACETOGENS - ACETOBACTERIUM BAKII SP-NOV,A-PALUDOSUM SP-NOV, A-FIMETARIUM SP-NOV, Archives of microbiology, 163(1), 1995, pp. 29-34
Three strains of new acetogenic bacteria were isolated from several lo
w temperature environments. Cells were gram-positive, oval-shaped flag
ellated rods. The organisms fermented H-2/CO2, CO, formate, lactate, a
nd several sugars to acetate. Strains Z-4391 and Z-4092 grew in the te
mperature range from 1 to 30 degrees C with an optimum at 20 degrees C
; strain Z-4290 grew in the range from 1 to 35 degrees C with an optim
um at 30 degrees C. The DNA G+C content of strains Z-4391, Z-4092, and
Z-4290 was 42.1, 41.7, and 45.8 mol%, respectively.
