Five strains of a brown phototrophic sulfur bacterium (Chlorobium phaeobacteroides) were isolated from the chemocline of the Black Sea and revealed extreme low-light adaptation of growth compared to 12 other green and purple sulfur bacterial strains.

Upon both acid and base hydrolyses of total cell material, the uncommon membrane-spanning lipid 13,16-dimethyl octacosanedioic acid (iso-diabolic acid) was released in substantial amounts (22 to 43% of the total fatty acids) from all of the acidobacteria studied.

Past investigations on microbial energy requirements and adaptations to energy limitation, identify gaps in current knowledge, and outline possible future foci of research on life under extreme energy limitation are discussed.
Identification and characterization of ecologically significant prokaryotes in the sediment of freshwater lakes: molecular and cultivation studies.

Traditional and recently developed methods are described which could be used for linking the function of microbial populations with their identification and characterize prokaryotes in lake sediments and related habitats.
A new purple sulfur bacterium from saline littoral sediments, Thiorhodovibrio winogradskyi gen. nov. and sp. nov.

- Environmental ScienceArchives of Microbiology
- 2004
Two strains of a new purple sulfur bacterium were isolated in pure culture from the littoral sediment of a saline lake (Mahoney Lake, Canada) and a marine microbial mat from the North Sea island of Mellum, respectively and exhibited high specific respiration rates.
Cyclic AMP and Acyl Homoserine Lactones Increase the Cultivation Efficiency of Heterotrophic Bacteria from the Central Baltic Sea

- 1 August 2002
Bacterial cells of strain G100 that were starved for 6 weeks attained a higher growth rate and a higher biomass yield when resuscitated in the presence of cAMP instead of AMP, pointing towards an inherent limitation of the MPN approach, which does not necessarily recover abundant species from highly diverse communities.
Large-scale distribution and activity patterns of an extremely low-light-adapted population of green sulfur bacteria in the Black Sea.

Chlorobium BS-1 is particularly well adapted to survival under the extreme low-light conditions of the Black Sea, and can be used as a laboratory model to elucidate general cellular mechanisms of long-term starvation survival.
