Thermoanaerobacter sp. X514

Names Thermoanaerobacter sp. X514
Accession numbers NC_010320
Background Thermoanaerobacter sp. (strain X514) is an anaerobic thermophilic 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. (EBI Integr8)
