Evolutionary relationships of cultivated psychrophilic and barophilic deep-sea bacteria.
Evolutionary relationships of cultivated barophilic bacteria were determined. All psychrophilic and barophilic isolates were affiliated with one of five genera of the gamma subdivision of the class Proteobacteria ((gamma)-Proteobacteria): Shewanella, Photobacterium, Colwellia, Moritella, and a new group containing strain CNPT3. The data indicate that the barophilic phenotype has evolved indepen...
متن کاملEvolutional and ecological implications of the properties of deep-sea barophilic bacteria.
The rate of reproduction of deep-sea bacteria from six different capture depths between 1957 and 10,476 meters was studied as a function of temperature and pressure. The results showed the following: the true deep-sea bacteria of different depths have several characteristics, presumably evolutionally derived, distinguishing them from each other and from bacteria of atmospheric-pressure environm...
متن کاملDiversity and association of psychrophilic bacteria in Antarctic sea ice.
The bacterial populations associated with sea ice sampled from Antarctic coastal areas were investigated by use of a phenotypic approach and a phylogenetic approach based on genes encoding 16S rRNA (16S rDNA). The diversity of bacteria associated with sea ice was also compared with the bacterial diversity of seawater underlying sea ice. Psychrophilic (optimal growth temperature, < or = 15 degre...
متن کاملDeep - Sea Bacteria
The presence of living bacteria in some of the deepest parts of the ocean was demonstrated on the Galathea Expedition. Sediment samples taken from the bottom of the Philippine Trench at depths exceeding 10 000 meters were found to contain from 104 to 1Q6 living bacteria per ml. Large bacterial populations were also detected in sediment samples from the floor of the Kermadec-Tonga Trench (6790 t...
متن کاملGrowth of psychrophilic bacteria.
On the basis of the temperature range in which growth can occur, bacteria are usually divided into 3 groups, namely: thermophiles, mesophiles, and psychrophiles (sometimes called cryophiles or rhigophiles). Thermophiles have temperature optima (generally quite close to temperature maxima) 10 to 25 degrees above the temperature optima of mesophiles. Thermophiles and mesophiles are easily disting...
