TLDR
It is proposed that strain MLFT is a member of a new species, Desulfotomaculum thermosapovorans, which would be the first thermophilic, spore-forming sulfate-reducing bacterium of its kind to be isolated from a butyrate enrichment culture.Abstract:
Strain MLFT(T = type strain), a new thermophilic, spore-forming sulfate-reducing bacterium, was characterized and was found to be phenotypically, genotypically, and phylogenetically related to the genus Desulfotomaculum. This organism was isolated from a butyrate enrichment culture that had been inoculated with a mixed compost containing rice hulls and peanut shells. The optimum temperature for growth was 50°C. The G+C content of the DNA was 51.2 mol%. Strain MLFTincompletely oxidized pyruvate, butyrate, and butanol to acetate and presumably CO2. It used long-chain fatty acids and propanediols. We observed phenotypic and phylogenetic differences between strain MLFTand other thermophilic Desulfotomaculum species that also oxidize long-chain fatty acids. On the basis of our results, we propose that strain MLFTis a member of a new species, Desulfotomaculum thermosapovorans.read more

Chapter IV A Roll Tube Method for Cultivation of Strict Anaerobes
TL;DR: This chapter presents factors that are considered in developing stringently anaerobic techniques and in describing the procedure and rationale of roll-tube method.

The replication of DNA in Escherichia coli
TL;DR: A method was developed for the detection of small density differences among macromolecules and the distribution of the heavy nitrogen isotope N15 among molecules of DNA following the transfer of a uniformly N15-labeled, exponentially growing bacterial population to a growth medium containing the ordinary nitrogen isotopes.

A quick method for the determination of dissolved and precipitated sulfides in cultures of sulfate-reducing bacteria
TL;DR: In this paper, a colloidal solution of copper sulfide was determined spectrophotometrically as a colloid solution of sulfide, and the maximum deviation error was below 5%.
