🧍 Thermomicrobium fosteri, represented by ATCC strain 35268, possesses a typical peptidoglycan and therefore differs from Thermomicrobium roseum [1].Publication:

🧍 Strain ATCC 29033 was deposited as Thermomicrobium fosteri. Later correspondence with the depositor indicated that it was a mixed culture and the purified strain was re-deposited as ATCC 35268. — Tang J. Personal communication, 2001-12-20.
🧍 Strain ATCC 35268 is presently assigned to the species Thermoleophilum minutum [2].Publication:
