Abstract

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated SgZ-1, was isolated from the anode biofilm of a microbial fuel cell. The strain had the ability to grow under anaerobic condition via the oxidation of various organic compounds coupled to the reduction of anthraquione-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) to anthrahydroquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AHQDS). Growth occurred in TSB in the presence of 0–5.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0–1 %), at 10–45 °C (optimum 25–37 °C) and at pH 6.0–10.0 (optimum 8.0–8.5). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain SgZ-1 belonged to the genus . The highest level of 16S rRNA gene sequences similarity (96.7 %) was found to be with S and AX, and lower values were obtained when compared with other recognized species. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealed that strain SgZ-1 contained Q-8 as the predominant quinone, and putrescine and 2-hydroxyputrescine as the major polyamines. The major cellular fatty acids (>5 %) were Cω6 and/or Cω7 (44.6 %), C (18.8 %), and Cω6 and/or Cω7 (12.7 %). Based on its phenotypic and phylogenetic properties, chemotaxonomic analysis and the results of physiological and biochemical tests, strain SgZ-1 ( = KACC 16524 = CCTCC M 2011497) was designated the type strain of a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. was proposed.
