THIOMICROSPIRA THERMOPHILA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Thiomicrospira |
| Species: | Thiomicrospira thermophila |
| Description: | Cells occur singly, as Gram-negative, motile, straight to curved rods with a polar flagellum, with a mean length of 0.8–1.5μm and a diameter of approximately 0.4–0.7μm.Cells are microaerobic, tolerating up to 10 % O2 in the gas phase. The temperature range for growth is 15–55°C (optimum 35–40°C). The pH range for growth is 5.0–8.0(optimum pH 6.0). |
