A novel moderately thermophilic, heterotrophic bacterium was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent deposit from the Mariner field along the Eastern Lau Spreading Center of the south-western Pacific Ocean. Cells were short motile rods (about 0.4×0.8 µm) that occurred singly or in pairs and were surrounded by a sheath-like membrane or 'toga'. The cells grew between 45 and 65 °C (optimum 57-60 °C) and at pH 4.1-6.0 (optimum pH 5.5-5.7) and grew optimally at 3 % (w/v) NaCl. The isolate grew on…

Two thermophilic, strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, designated strains AZM34c06(T) and AZM44c09(T), were isolated from terrestrial hot springs in Japan and the inclusion of the two isolates in the genus Thermotoga is proposed within two novel species.

Fervidobacterium thailandense sp. nov., an extremely thermophilic bacterium isolated from a hot spring.

Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and average nucleotide identity analysis suggested that strain FC2004T represented a novel species within the genus Fervidobacterium, for which the name Fervidia thailandense sp.

Genomic analysis of the mesophilic Thermotogae genus Mesotoga reveals phylogeographic structure and genomic determinants of its distinct metabolism

This study comprises one of the first whole-genome-based phylogeographic analyses of anaerobic mesophiles, and data suggest that such microbes are more restricted by geography than are thermophiles (and mesophilic aerobes).

A novel Thermotoga strain TFO isolated from a Californian petroleum reservoir phylogenetically related to Thermotoga petrophila and T. naphthophila, two thermophilic anaerobic isolates from a Japanese reservoir: Taxonomic and genomic considerations.

Prokaryotic diversity across a pH gradient in the “El Chichón” crater-lake: a naturally thermo-acidic environment

The "El Chichón" crater-lake in Mexico is a thermo-acidic environment whose microorganisms have been scarcely studied. In this study, we surveyed the prokaryotic communities by amplicon sequencing of…

Prokaryotic diversity across a pH gradient in the “El Chichón” crater-lake: a naturally thermo-acidic environment

The results show the presence of a microbial community adapted to the changing conditions of a very dynamic crater-lake, that include chemoorganotrophs and chemolithotrophy, that mainly occur in the most extreme sites of the lake.
