Pinch, punch, it's Microbe of the Month 🦠 Starting off our new year, it's... Chloracidobacterium validum! The novel bacterium was isolated in Rupite, Bulgaria, known for its thermal springs, by an international team of researchers. Find out more here: microb.io/4rqIEws🧫
A thermal spring in Rupite. Text reads “Microbe of the Month – Selected from IJSEM” and “Chloracidobacterium validum” A caption below explains how it belongs to a new species, genus, family and order.
