Isolation of Halotolerant Thermus spp. from Submarine Hot Springs in Iceland
Thermophilic, aerobic bacteria of the genus Thermus were isolated from submarine alkaline hot springs in Iceland. Five submarine hot springs were sampled, and all had viable counts of Thermus spp. of about 103 CFU/ml. All submarine strains grew in the presence of NaCl at 3% or higher, but no strains...
