Abstract

An anaerobic, thermophilic, thiosulfate-reducing bacterium, strain AZM16c01, isolated from a hot spring in Japan [Mori, K., Sunamura, M., Yanagawa, K., Ishibashi, J., Miyoshi, Y., Iino, T., Suzuki, K. & Urabe, T. (2008). , 6223–6229] was characterized in detail. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis had revealed that strain AZM16c01 was the first cultivated representative of the candidate phylum OP5. The cells were multicellular filaments with a single polar flagellum. The strain contained iso-C as the major fatty acid and menaquinone-8(H), menaquinone-8(H) and menaquinone-8(H) as the respiratory quinones. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain AZM16c01 was 34.6 mol%. Optimum growth was obtained at 65 °C, pH 6.5 and in the absence of NaCl, with a doubling time of 10.6 h. On the basis of the results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the characterization of the strain in this study, we propose the name gen. nov., sp. nov. for strain AZM16c01 (=NBRC 104410=DSM 21853). In addition, we propose the new phylum name phyl. nov. for the candidate phylum OP5 represented by gen. nov., sp. nov., and fam. nov., ord. nov. and classis nov.
