Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, aerobic, motile bacterium, J379T, was isolated from radioactive water spring C1, located in a former silver–uranium mine in the Czech Republic. This slow-growing strain exhibited optimal growth at 24–28 °C on solid media with <1 % salt concentration and alkaline pH 8–10. The only respiratory quinone found in strain J379T was MK-7(H4). C18 : 1 ω9c (60.9 %), C18 : 0 (9.4 %), C16 : 0 and alcohol-C18 : 0 (both 6.2 %) were found to be the major fatty acids. The p
