Abstract
A novel anaerobic, thermophilic, alkalitolerant bacterium, strain 2204T, was isolated from a hot spring of the Baikal Lake region. The cells of strain 2204Twere straight rods of variable length, Gram-positive with an S-layer, motile with one to two lateral flagella, and often formed aggregates of 3–15 cells. The isolate was shown to be an obligate anaerobe oxidizing CO and producing equimolar quantities of H2and CO2according to the equation CO+H2O→CO2+H2. No organic substrates were used as energ
