title: Bacillus thermoglucosidasius sp. nov., a New Species of Obligately Thermophilic Bacilli.
abstract: A group of 6 strains of obligately thermophilic spore-formers is described as a novel species named Bacillus thermoglucosidasius. The strains are strictly aerobic, neutrophilic, amylolytic, Gram-positive, azide sensitive, produce terminally swollen sporangia and exo-oligo-1,6-glucosidase in large amounts. Strain KP 1006 (DSM 2542) is designated as the type strain. Growth occurs at temperatures from 42°C to 69°C with an optimum at 61-63°C, and at an initial pH of 6.5-8.5. The guanine + cytosine content of DNA, estimated by thermal DNA denaturation, is 45-46 mol%.
