How alkaliphiles produce energy to sustain their life under extremely low concentration of proton
Alkaliphiles are defined as microorganisms with optimum growth pH of above 9 (10-9 mol dm−3 H+ concentration). This means that these microorganisms can grow in environment with one-hundredth times lower proton (H+) concentration than that of neutral
Endospore formation: a mechanism for microbial response to unfavorable environment
The strain included in the report is Bacillus sp. CHD6a, a member of the phylum Firmicutes isolated from the shallow-sea hydrothermal vent systems off northeast Taiwan’s coast. Bacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped and ubiquitous in
