Abstract

Several strains of aerobic, acidophilic, chemo-organotrophic bacteria belonging to the genus were isolated from an acid mine drainage (AMD) (pH 2.2) treatment plant. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed that most of the novel isolates formed a phylogenetically coherent group (designated Group Ia) distinguishable from any of the previously established species of the genus at <98 % similarity. This was supported by genomic DNA–DNA hybridization assays. The Group Ia isolates were characterized phenotypically by an oval cell morphology, non-motility, growth in the range pH 2.0–5.5 (optimum pH 3.5), lack of photosynthetic pigment and the presence of C cyclo ω8 as the main component of the cellular fatty acids and ubiquinone-10 as the major quinone. On the basis of these data, the name sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate the Group Ia isolates, and the description of the genus is emended. The type strain of sp. nov. is MS8 ( = NBRC 107608 = KCTC 23505).
