title: Isolation of bacteria whose growth is dependent on high levels of CO2 and implications of their potential diversity.
abstract: 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.
