Description

10 strains of sulfate-reducing (Desulfovibrio) bacteria were isolated and identified from the environmental samples collected near the oil terminals at the Black Sea coastline of Georgia. The identification of bacterial strains was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the sequence analyses of 16S RNA. Based on genomic analysis all bacterial strains isolated in Georgia belong to the genus of Desulfovibrio. Optimal nutrient mediums [LS4D and medium 87] were selected for the cultivation of these bacteria. The morphology of the microbes was studied by electron microscopy; all identified bacteria are rod-shaped with one or lophotrichous polar flagella and motile. (author)
