ABSTRACT:
Thermus aquaticus biovar. Nov. SK542 (FERM BP-3382) is an absolute aerobic bacteria. It grows at temperature limit of 40.degree.-82.degree. C. in a normal concentration medium, but its best growth is achieved at 72.degree.-76.degree. C. It produces protein decomposing enzymes functional at a temperature of 75.degree.-85.degree. C. and active in a wide pH range of 4.0-11.3, and a yellow pigment of carotenoid groups. A method for improving the quality of soil comprising applying to the soil a biologically pure culture of an absolute aerobic bacterium Thermus aquaticus biovar. nov. SK542 (FERM BP-3382) having a growth temperature limit of 40.degree.-82.degree. C. in a normal concentration medium, a growth optimum temperature of 72.degree.-76.degree. C., and producing protein decomposing enzymes functional at temperature range of 75.degree.-85.degree. C. and being active in a wide pH range of 4.0-11.3, and a yellow pigment of carotenoid.
