Isolation of bacteria whose growth is dependent on high levels of CO2 and implications of their potential diversity.
Although some bacteria require an atmosphere with high CO(2) levels for their growth, CO(2) is not generally supplied to conventional screening cultures. Here, we isolated 84 bacterial strains exhibiting high-CO(2) dependence. Their phylogenetic affiliations imply that high-CO(2) culture has potential as an effective method to isolate unknown microorganisms.
