A novel purple sulfur bacterium, strain WS T, was isolated from a microbial mat from an estuary of the White Sea. Individual cells are coccoid shaped, motile by flagella and do not contain gas vesicles. The mean cell diameter is 1?85 mm (range 1?5–2?0 mm). Cell suspensions exhibit a purple–violet co...
