Four thermophilic hydrogen oxidizing bacteria were isolated from various hot-springs in Grensdalur, Hveragerði, SW-Iceland. The strains were investigated with respect to phylogenetics, physiology, hydrogen uptake rates, biomass yield and sulfur metabolism. Phylogenetic studies of the isolates were d...
