Abstract
Isolation and characterization of a new, obligatory, anaerobic, methylotrophic, homoacetogenic bacterium is described. This bacterium is a mesophilic, motile, slightly curved rod that demonstrated a negative Gram reaction, formed spherical, (sub)terminal spores and performed a homoacetic fermentation with methanol, a CO2-2H2-gas mixture, glucose or fructose, respectively, as the substrate. The methanol fermentation proceeded only when a suitable amount of NaHCO3 was available in the nutrient solution supplied.
