International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology vol. 53, part 3, pp. 839 - 846
Supplementary Figs A and B. Electron micrograph of negatively stained cells of strain SSM1T in the mid-exponential (A) and stationary (B) phases of growth. Bars, 1 µm.

Supplementary Figs CE. Effects of temperature (C), pH (D) and sea salt concentration (E) on the growth of D. desulfuricans strain SSM1T. Growth curves at different temperatures were determined in the standard medium at pH 6.5. The effect of pH on growth was determined in the standard medium containing various buffers at 62 °C over a range of pH values. The pH values were adjusted to various levels at room temperature. The effect of sea salt concentration on growth was determined in varying dilutions of 4x MJ synthetic sea water. [PDF] (15 KB)
