Abstract

A syntrophic propionate-oxidizing bacterium, strain MPOB, was isolated from a culture enriched from anaerobic granular sludge. It oxidized propionate syntrophically in co-culture with the hydrogen- and formate-utilizing , and was able to oxidize propionate and other organic compounds in pure culture with sulfate or fumarate as the electron acceptor. Additionally, it fermented fumarate. 16S rRNA sequence analysis revealed a relationship with and . The G+C content of its DNA was 60·6 mol %, which is in the same range as that of other species. DNA-DNA hybridization studies showed less than 26% hybridization among the different genomes of species and strain MPOB. This justifies the assignment of strain MPOB to the genus as a new species. The name is proposed; strain MPOB (= DSM 10017) is the type strain.
