A novel facultatively anaerobic moderately thermophilic bacterium, strain B-154 T , was isolated from a terrestrial hot spring in the Baikal lake region (Russian Federation). Gram-negative, motile, spherical cells were present singly, in pairs, or aggregates, and reproduced by binary fission. The strain grew at 30-57 °C and within a pH range of 5.1-8.4 with the optimum at 50 °C and pH 6.8-7.1. Strain B-154 T was a chemoorganoheterotroph, growing on mono-, di- and polysaccharides (xylan, starch, galactan, galactomannan, glucomannan, xyloglucan, pullulan, arabinan, lichenan, beta-glucan, pachyman, locust bean gum, xanthan gum)...
