Summary and
additional information:
<- A. Tonouchi, Faculty Agriculture and Life Sci., Hirosaki Univ., Japan; 169 <- K. Kitamura and A. Tonouchi {2005}. Rice field soil. Japan, Aomori, Kanagi Farm. Type strain.. Taxonomy/description (16024). Sequence accession no. 16S rRNA gene: AB368917, mcrA gene: AB551869. Anaerobic, hydrogenotrophic, methanogenic archaeon (16024). (Medium 141 with strain-specific modifications, incubation time: 2-3 days, 40°C, anaerobic). Growth takes place without visible increase in turbidity, hence proliferation of cells has to be checked using phase contrast microscopy.
