Cold-active acetogenic bacteria from surficial sediments of perennially ice-covered Lake Fryxell, Antarctica
Cold-active acetogenic bacteria in the permanently cold sediments of Lake Fryxell, Antarctica were investigated using culture-based methods. Two psychrophilic, acetogenic strains were isolated and found to be physiologically and phylogenetically related to Acetobacterium bakii and Acetobacterium tun...
