Bacillus macquariensis nsp., a Psychrotrophic Bacterium from Sub-Antarctic Soil
A new species of the genus Bacillus was isolated from Macquarie Island soil. The organism is psychrotrophic, producing spores at temperatures down to and including 0". The maximum temperature for growth is 25". Apart from its temperature relations, it most closely resembles B. pulvi-facien...
