Thermophilic organism isolated from a subsurface sample taken from Piceance Basin, Colorado. Thermoanaerobacter sp. X513

Thermoanaerobacter sp. strain X513. This strain was isolated by anaerobic enrichment culture from a deep subsurface sample (2000 m below the surface) taken from a core hole at the Piceance Basin, Colorado, USA. It can use a variety of electron donors, including glucose, acetate, hydrogen and xylose while reducing iron, chromium and uranium at 60 degrees.

热厌氧杆菌属（Thermoanaerobacter）菌株X513。该菌株通过厌氧富集培养法，从美国科罗拉多州皮斯昂斯盆地（Piceance Basin）一处钻孔获取的地下深部样本（地表以下2000米）中分离得到。该菌株可利用葡萄糖、乙酸盐、氢气及木糖等多种电子供体，并能在60℃条件下还原铁、铬与铀。
