Background | Desulfurobacterium thermolithotrophum (strain DSM 11699 / BSA) is a thermophilic, anaerobic, strictly autotrophic, sulphur-reducing Gram-positive bacterium isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal chimney sample collected at the mid-Atlantic ridge. The cells occur singly or in pairs as small highly motile rods. The temperature range for growth is between 40 to 75 degrees Celsius, with an optimum at 70 degrees Celsius. The pH range for growth at 70 degrees Celsius is from 4.4 to 7.5, with an optimum around 6.0. The sea salt concentration range for growth is between 15 and 70 g/l with an optimum at 35 g/l. Elemental sulphur, thiosulphate and sulphite are reduced to hydrogen sulphide. (Adapted from PMID: 9734024). (EBI Integr8) |
