Abstract

A novel strictly anaerobic, mesophilic bacterium was enriched and isolated with gluconate as sole substrate from a methanogenic sludge collected from a biogas reactor. Cells of strain GluBS11 stained Gram-positive and were non-motile, straight rods, measuring 3.0–4.5 × 0.8–1.2 μm. The temperature range for growth was 15–37 °C, with optimal growth at 30 °C, the pH range was 6.5–8.5, with optimal growth at pH 7, and the generation time under optimal conditions was 60 min. API Rapid 32A reactions were positive for α-galactosidase, α-glucosidase and β-glucosidase and negative for catalase and oxidase. A broad variety of substrates was utilized, including gluconate, glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose, lactose, galactose, melezitose, melibiose, mannitol, erythritol, glycerol and aesculin. Products of gluconate fermentation were ethanol, acetate, formate, H and CO. Neither sulfate nor nitrate served as an electron acceptor. Predominant cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were C, C, Cω7/iso-C 2-OH and Cω7. The DNA G+C content of strain GluBS11 was 44.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence data revealed that strain GluBS11 is a member of subcluster XIVa within the order . The closest cultured relatives are (93.1 % similarity to the type strain), (93.3 %), (92.4 %) and (91.5 %). Based on this 16S rRNA gene sequence divergence (>6.5 %) as well as on chemotaxonomic and phenotypic differences from these taxa, strain GluBS11 is considered to represent a novel genus and species, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is GluBS11 ( = LMG 28619 = KCTC 15450 = DSM 29698).
