Zusammenfassung
During the course of growing cell material for the extraction of genomic DNA for the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea, strain OC 1/4, the designated type strain ofThermocrinis ruberwas cultivated at the Institute for Microbiology and Archaea Center of the University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany. Partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that the cell material initially cultivated and the strain held in the DSMZ as DSM 12173 did not correspond with that deposited as AJ005640 and was probably a strain ofThermocrinis albus. A subsequent search of the strain collection of the Institute for Microbiology and Archaea Center of the University of Regensburg held in liquid nitrogen indicated that a strain could be recovered from the liquid nitrogen stocks that corresponded with the properties originally given for strain OC 1/4. We report here on the characterization of this strain that has subsequently been deposited in the DSMZ as DSM 23557.
