Abstract
A novel anaerobic, thermophilic, carbon monoxide-utilizing bacterium, strain E3-O, was isolated from anaerobic sludge of a municipal solid waste digester. Cells were straight rods, 0.6 to 1μm in diameter and 2 to 3 μm in length, growing as single cells or in pairs. Cells formed round terminal endospores. The temperature range for growth was 50 to 70°C, with an optimum at 65°C. The pH range for growth was 5.7 to 8.0, with an optimum at 7.5. Strain E3-O had the capability to ferment various sugars, such as fructose, galactose, glucose, mannose, raffinose, ribose, sucrose and xylose, producing ma ...
