Year: 2025

Abstract A novel gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic fermentative bacterium, strain SC589 T , was isolated from a terrestrial mud volcano (Taman Peninsula, Russia) and characterized. The strain grew at 14–47°C (optimum 37°C), the pH range of 6.0–10.0 (optimum pH 7.5) and with 1.0–12.0% (wt/vol) NaCl (optimum 2.0–4.0%). Substrates utilized by strain SC589 T included yeast extract, peptone, tryptone, alanine, arginine, and pyruvate. Elemental sulfur, thiosulfate, and Fe(III) were used as electron
