Abstract

A Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped and motile bacterium, designated strain ERB1-3, was isolated from a laboratory-scale activated sludge system treating coke plant effluent using thiocyanate-supplemented growth medium. Strain ERB1-3 was oxidase-positive and weakly catalase-positive. The predominant fatty acids were Cω7 (35.6 %) and Cω6 (29.2 %), and the major respiratory quinone was Q-10. Polar lipids were dominated by sphingoglycolipid and phosphatidylglycerol. Major polyamines were spermidine and -homospermidine. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain ERB1-3 was 66.4 mol%. Based on the 16S rRNA gene, strain ERB1-3 exhibited the highest sequence similarity values to DSM 19645 (96.1 %), DSM 19371 (95.1 %) and LMG 24686 (94.8 %) within the family . The novel isolate had some unique chemotaxonomic features that differentiated it from these closely related strains, contained much more Cω6, C 2-OH, C and Cω8 fatty acids and possessed diphosphatidylglycerol only in trace amounts. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular data, strain ERB1-3 is considered to represent a novel genus and species, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ERB1-3 ( = DSM 25527 = NCAIM B 02511).
