Figure 1. B. marmarensis thrives in alkaline conditions.

Figure 1

(a) Specific growth rate of B. marmarensis; the maximum was observed between pH of 9.0 to 10.5. (b) Specific growth rate comparing B. marmarensis at pH 10 (Bm), to Escherichia coli (Ec), and Bacillus subtilis (Bs) at pH 7. No significant difference exists. (c) Cell mass productivity of extreme alkaliphiles at pH 11.4. Bp = B. psuedofirmus OF4. Bh = B. halodurans C-125. Bc = B. clausii KSM-K16. Bm accumulates cell mass more rapidly than the other alkaliphiles. N = 3 to 5. Error bars are S.D.
