PHENOTYPIC AND GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SPACES OF THE THERMOANAEROBACTERIUM GROUP

Phenotypic and genetic characterization of the species of the Thermoanaerobacterium group: this study allowed us to deepen the knowledge on the phenotypic and genetic diversity of the species of the genus Thermoanaerobacterium. The species T. saccharolyticum, T. thermosaccharolyticum and T. acidotolerans grow optimally in a temperature range of 50 to 60°C at pH between 5 and 6.5.
