Clostridium straminisolvens sp. nov., a moderately thermophilic, aerotolerant and cellulolytic bacterium isolated from a cellulose-degrading bacterial community
A novel anaerobic, thermophilic and cellulolytic bacterium (strain CSK1T) was isolated from a cellulose-degrading bacterial community. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain CSK1T was mapped to cluster III of the genus Clostridium. Strain CSK1T is closely related to Clostridium thermocellum (96·2 %) and Clostridium aldrichii (95·1 %). Strain CSK1T is a non-motile, spore-forming, straight or slightly curved rod. The optimum temperature and initial pH for its growth and cellulose degradation are 50–55 °C and pH 7·5. Strain CSK1T grew under a gas phase containing up to 4 % O2. Phylogenetic and phenotypic analyses support the differentiation of strain CSK1T from its closest relatives. Strain CSK1T therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Clostridium straminisolvens sp. nov. is proposed, with CSK1T (=DSM 16021T=IAM 15070T) as the type strain.
