Hi, you should contact Dr Dimitry Sorokin (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dimitry_Sorokin2/), he's quite an expert on alkaliphiles.

Hi, for a fast doubling time I would look at Clostridium paradoxum if its an anaerobe you are after. The problem with most of these organisms are they are not genetically tractable to date.

You can grow such organisms in lab with a short doubling time. However, it all depends on what your looking for (which is not clear from your question)

We have published several anaerobic alkaliphilic thermophiles with doubling times between 10 and 20 min.
