Comparative analysis of carbon monoxide tolerance among Thermoanaerobacter species

An anaerobic thermophilic strain (strain PCO) was isolated from a syngas-converting enrichment culture. Syngas components cannot be used by strain PCO, but the new strain is very tolerant to carbon monoxide (pCO = 1.7x105 Pa, 100% CO). 16S rRNA gene analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization revealed that...
