sp. nov., isolated from deep marine sediment of the Nankai Trough Free

Abstract

A novel piezotolerant, mesophilic, facultatively anaerobic, organotrophic, polarly flagellated bacterium (strain LT13a) was isolated from a deep sediment layer in the Nankai Trough (Leg 190, Ocean Drilling Program) off the coast of Japan. This organism used a wide range of organic substrates as sole carbon and energy sources: pyruvate, glutamate, succinate, fumarate, lactate, citrate, peptone and tryptone. Oxygen, nitrate, fumarate, ferric iron and cystine were used as electron acceptors. Maximal growth rates were observed at a hydrostatic pressure of 10 MPa. Hydrostatic pressure for growth was in the range 0·1–50 MPa. Predominant cellular fatty acids were 16 : 17, 15 : 0 iso, 16 : 0 and 13 : 0 iso. The G+C content of the DNA was 44·9 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain LT13a was shown to belong to the -, being closely related to (98 %), (97 %) and (96 %). Levels of DNA homology between strain LT13a and , and were <20 %, indicating that strain LT13a represents a novel species. Genetic evidence and phenotypic characteristics showed that isolate LT13a constitutes a novel species of the genus . Because of the deep origin of the strain, the name sp. nov. is proposed, with LT13a (=DSM 15900=JCM 12080) as the type strain.
