Thermosediminibacter oceani DSM 16646

Thermosediminibacter oceani (strain ATCC BAA-1034 / DSM 16646 / JW/IW-1228P) is an anaerobic, thermophilic, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from enrichment cultures obtained from deep sea sediments of Peru Margin collected during Leg 201 of the Ocean Drilling Program. The cells are straight to curved rods, 0.2-0.7 um in diameter and 1.5-16 um in length. Cells occur singly, in pairs, or in chains and tend to elongate and form aggregates. It grows with a range of pH from 6.3 to 9.3 with an optimum at 7.5 and a temperature range from 52 to 76 degrees Celsius with an optimum at 68 degrees Celsius. The salinity range for growth is from 0 to 6% (w/v), with an optimum at 1%. Cellobiose, fructose, galactose, glucose, maltose, mannose, raffinose, sucrose, trehalose, xylose, methanol, inositol, manitol, sorbitol, lactate, pyruvate serve as carbon and energy. Thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, and MnO2 can serve as electron acceptors. (Adapted from: http://standardsingenomics.org/index.php/sigen/article/view/sigs.1133078/374 and PMID: 15965715). (EBI Integr8)
