In conclusion, interspecies formate transfer may be the predominant mechanism of syntrophy in syntrophic cocultures and routine estimation of kinetic parameters would greatly overestimate the K(m) for H(2) or formate.

The isolation and cultivation of a member of the DHVE2 group is reported, which is an obligate thermoacidophilic sulphur- or iron-reducing heterotroph capable of growing from pH 3.3 to 5.8 and between 55 and 75 °C, providing evidence that thermo Acidophiles may be key players in the sulphur and iron cycling at deep-sea vents.

Six strains of thermophilic, endospore-forming, sulfate-reducing bacteria were enriched and isolated from 2.7 km below the earth's surface in the Taylorsville Triassic Basin in Virginia and a new species is proposed, Desulfotomaculum putei, with strain TH-11 (= SMCC W459) as the type strain.
Methanosarcina mazei LYC, a New Methanogenic Isolate Which Produces a Disaggregating Enzyme
A methanogenic coccoid organism, Methanosarcina mazei LYC, was isolated from alkaline sediment obtained from an oil exploration drilling site. The isolate resembled M. mazei S-6 by exhibiting…

Phenotypic differences between strain AK-1 and these strains (including growth temperature, salinity range, pH range, and nutrient requirements) support this, and a new species, Methanogenium marinum, is proposed with strainAK-1 as type strain.
Methanohalophilus oregonense sp. nov., a methylotrophic methanogen from an alkaline, saline aquifer
An examination of the subsurface sediments revealed no methanogens that were capable of growth on methanogenic substrates, such as H2-CO2, formate, or acetate, which is consistent with the results of other studies of hypersaline, sulfate-containing anoxic environments.
