sp. nov., a novel CO-reducing acetogenic bacterium isolated from peatland soil.

Some species of the genus are efficient acetate producers and have been deemed useful for upgrading industrial biogas. An acetogenic, strictly anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, subterminal endospore-forming bacterium designated strain PL3 was isolated from peatland soil enrichments with H and CO. Cells of strain PL3 were 0.
