sp. nov., a novel thermophilic, anaerobic and xylanolytic bacterium isolated from an oil-producing well in the Gulf of Mexico Free

Abstract

A novel anaerobic, thermophilic, xylanolytic, motile rod-shaped bacterium with a sheath-like outer structure (toga) was isolated from a Mexican oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. Strain MET12 was a Gram-negative bacterium, reducing elemental sulfur, thiosulfate and sulfite to hydrogen sulfide. Its optimum growth conditions were 55 °C, pH 6·6, 3 % NaCl and 0·15 % MgCl.6HO. The DNA G+C content was 36·1 mol%. Phylogenetically, strain MET12 was related to members of genus , with similarities to , , and varying from 97·6 to 98·8 %. However DNA–DNA relatedness values between these species and strain MET12 were lower than 70 %. As strain MET12 (=DSM 14811=CIP 107371) was genomically and phenotypically different from existing species, it is proposed as the type strain of a novel species, sp. nov.
