Therefore, the utilization
patterns of the remaining two novel strains, i.e. MWHTaW3
and MWH-NZ8W13, were not examined. All of the
novel strains grew in NSY medium as curved rods with
small cell sizes (Fig. 1). Doubling times for growth in liquid
NSY medium at 20 uC were 4.5, 5.7, and 5.9 h for strains
