A new strictly anaerobic, alkaliphilic, moderately thermophilic, fermentative, spore-forming bacterium, strain K1T, was isolated from manure samples (pH 6-8). Cells were Gram-positive, straight, non-motile rods that grew at temperatures of 37-66 degrees C (optimum at 62 degrees C) and in a pH range of 8.0-10.5 (optimum at 9.5-9.7). The bacterium fermented D-glucose, sucrose, D-fructose, D-trehalose and starch as carbon and energy sources. It required vitamins and its growth is stimulated by yeast extract. The major metabolic products were H2 and acetate. Cells were catalase-negative and could reduce nitrate to nitrite. The G+C content of the DNA was 42.2 mol%. Based on the phenotypic properties and 16S rDNA sequencing and DNA-DNA hybridization data, strain K1T (= DSM 12423T = ATCC 700785T = VKM B-2193T) was assigned to the new genus Anoxybacillus gen. nov., as a representative of a new species, Anoxybacillus pushchinensis sp. nov. 'Bacillus flavothermus' strain d.y., which was found to be closely related to strain K1T, is described as Anoxybacillus flavithermus comb. nov. (type strain = d.y.T = DSM 2641T).

Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen, NO-5020 Bergen, Norway.
Article Synopsis
- Twelve thermophilic strains were isolated from sediments and water samples at a hot spring in Karvachar, Nagorno-Karabakh, focusing on one strain, K1, which is a unique, moderately thermophilic bacterium.
- Strain K1 has straight, motile rod-shaped cells, thrives at temperatures between 60-65°C, and can grow in a pH range of 6-11, with optimal conditions at pH 8-9.
- It can utilize various carbon sources and shows specific biochemical properties, indicating it might represent a new species, proposed as sp. nov., with the type strain named K1.

Two strains of Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria (designated dk512 and dk508) were isolated from the faeces of Tibetan gazelle () collected from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, PR China. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the strains showed the highest identity to K-1 (98.0 and 97.

Article Synopsis
- Microbial rhodopsin, specifically bacteriorhodopsin (BR), has great optical properties but is expensive to produce, hindering its commercialization.
- The study focused on isolating BR variants from three new strains of haloarchaea found in Indian solar salterns, naming them wsp3, wsp5, and K1.
- The results indicate that specific unannotated N-terminal residues are crucial for BR functionality, and the characteristics of these recombinant BRs are similar to known variants, suggesting a cost-effective method for producing them using E. coli for future applications.
An improved high-quality draft genome sequence of Carnobacterium inhibens subsp. inhibens strain K1(T).

DOE Joint Genome Institute, Walnut Creek, CA USA.
Despite their ubiquity and their involvement in food spoilage, the genus Carnobacterium remains rather sparsely characterized at the genome level. Carnobacterium inhibens K1(T) is a member of the Carnobacteriaceae family within the class Bacilli. This strain is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from the intestine of an Atlantic salmon.

A facultatively anaerobic, Gram-stain negative, golden-yellow pigmented, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain A5Q-67(T) was isolated from leaf litter collected at the mangrove estuary of Nakama River, Japan. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed the novel isolate was affiliated with the family Flavobacteriaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes and that it showed highest sequence similarity (94.2 %) to Imtechella halotolerans K1(T).
