RESUMO
Forty-two strains of gram-positive, aerobic, heterotrophic, obligately thermophilic, spore-forming bacteria were isolated from a geothermal site near the Baltic Sea in Lithuania. All of the strains were able to hydrolyze collagen and/or casein. Since characteristics of proteolytic activity are correlated with taxonomic positions of bacteria, the strains were grouped on the basis of molecular biological analyses. On the basis of RFLP patterns of 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA ITS-PCR analysis, the strains were subdivided into nine groups.
