Thermoanaerobacter sp. X513

Names Thermoanaerobacter sp. X513
Accession numbers NC_014538
Background Thermoanaerobacter sp. (strain X513) is an anaerobic, extreme thermophilic Gram-positive bacterium isolated by anaerobic enrichment culture from a deep subsurface sample (2000 m below the surface) taken from a core hole at the Piceance Basin, Colorado, USA. It can use a variety of electron donors, including glucose, acetate, hydrogen and xylose while reducing iron, chromium and uranium at 60 degrees Celsius. Thermoanaerobacter sp. reduces thiosulfate to either hydrogen sulfide or elemental sulfur, or both. It is also able of ethanol production.
