Isolation Method: Isolated under sulfur reducing and heterotrophic conditions, pH 4.5, temp 70.Anaerobic marine media contained 300 ml of anaerobic MH buffer (87.75 gl-1 NaCl , 5.0 g l-1 MgCl2.6H2O, 1.5 g l-1 KCl2, 6.0 g l-1 NaOH) , (NH4)2SO4 (1.3 g l-1), KH2PO4(0.28 g l-1), MgSO4.7H2O (0.25 g l-1), CaCl2.2H2O (0.07 g l-1), FeCl3.6H2O (4 mg l-1),MnCl2.4H2O (0.36 mg), Na2B4O7 .10H2O (4.5 mg l-1), ZnSO4.7H2O (0.22 mg l-1),CuCl2.2H2O (0.05 mg l-1), Na2MoO4.2H2O (0.03 mg l-1), VoSO4.2H2O (0.03 mg), CoSO4 (0.01mg l-1), trisodium citrate (2.94 g l-1), trypticase peptone (1.0 g l-1), yeast extract (1.0 g l-1),resazurin (1.0 mg), Na2S.9H2O (0.50 g l-1), sulphur (10.0 g l-1). The pH was adjusted to 4.5 withH2SO4, and media was dispensed anaerobically under an atmosphere of N2:CO2 (80:20, v/v,100kPa).
