Abstract

A Gram-staining-positive, spore-forming, strictly anaerobic bacterium, designated strain LAM0A37, was isolated from enrichment samples collected from a petroleum reservoir in Shengli oilfield. Cells of strain LAM0A37 were rod-shaped and motile by peritrichous flagella. The optimal temperature and pH for growth were 40 °C and 7.0–7.5, respectively. The strain did not require NaCl for growth but tolerated up to 3 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain LAM0A37 was able to utilize glucose, fructose, maltose, xylose, sorbitol, cellobiose, melibiose and melezitose as sole carbon sources. Sulfite was used as an electron acceptor. The main products of glucose fermentation were acetate and CO. The predominant fatty acid was C (23.6 %). The main polar lipid profile comprised of five glycolipids, six phospholipids and two lipids. No menaquinone was detected. The genomic DNA G+C content was 27.1 ± 0.2 mol% as determined by the method. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the isolate was a member of the genus , and was most closely related to JCM 1401 and DSM 6539 with 98.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to both. DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain LAM0A37 and type strains of and were 45.6 ± 0.3 % and 38.3 ± 0.4 %, respectively. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain LAM0A37 is suggested to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LAM0A37 ( = ACCC 00740 = JCM 19845).
