gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family isolated from an anaerobic digester Free

Abstract

An obligately anaerobic bacterium, designated strain GK12, was isolated from an anaerobic digester in Fukagawa, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. The cells of strain GK12 were non-motile, non-spore-forming cocci that commonly occurred in chains. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain GK12 was affiliated with the family in the phylum and showed 91.8 % sequence similarity to the most closely related species, . The strain grew at 30–50 °C (optimally at 40 °C) and at pH 5.5–8.5 (optimally at pH 7.5). The main end product of glucose fermentation was lactate. Yeast extract was required for growth. The strain contained C, C 1,1-dimethoxyalkane (DMA), C DMA and C DMA as the major cellular fatty acids (>10 % of the total). The polar lipid profile was composed of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unidentified phospholipid. The whole-cell sugars were galactose, rhamnose and ribose. The cell-wall murein contained alanine, glutamic acid, lysine, serine and threonine, but not diaminopimelic acid. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 47.7 mol%. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic properties, a novel genus and species, gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate strain GK12 ( = NBRC 108915 = DSM 25799).
