Populations of a moderately thermophilic magnetotactic bacterium were discovered in Great Boiling Springs, Nevada, ranging from 32 to 63 degrees C. Cells were small, Gram-negative, vibrioid to helicoid in morphology, and biomineralized a chain of bullet-shaped magnetite magnetosomes. Phylogenetically, based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the organism belongs to the phylum Nitrospirae.
在内华达州大沸腾泉发现了嗜中温磁细菌的种群,其温度范围从 32 到 63 摄氏度。细胞小,革兰氏阴性,形态为弧菌到螺旋形,生物矿化形成一串子弹形的磁铁矿磁小体。根据 16S rRNA 基因测序的结果,该生物在系统发育上属于硝化螺旋菌门。
