[Isolation and identification of extrem thermophilic bacteria from hot springs of Sichuan and Tibet].
Eleven strains of extrem thermophilic bacteria belonging to the Bacillus Stearothermophiles were isolated from the hot springs of Sichuan and Tibet. The cells were gram-positive, sporulating and motile. The optimum temperature for growth was between 65 degrees C to 70 degrees C; the maximum 94 degrees C, and minimum 40 degrees C. The colour of colony was yellow to bright orange. The G+C content of the DNA in strains has been found to be in the range 48.4-53.15 mol%.
