Abstract

A strictly anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated BS-1, was isolated from an anaerobic digestion reactor during a study of bacteria utilizing galactitol as the carbon source. Its cells were 0.3–0.5 μm × 2–4 μm, and they grew at 35–45 °C and at pH 6.0–8.0. Strain BS-1 produced H, CO, ethanol, acetic acid, butyric acid and caproic acid as metabolic end products of anaerobic fermentation. Phylogenetic analysis, based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, showed that strain BS-1 represented a novel bacterial genus within the family , Cluster IV. The type strains that were most closely related to strain BS-1 were KCTC 5598 (94.5 %), KCTC 5155 (94.3 %), ATCC 27255 (92.1 %) and YUAN-3 (91.9 %). Strain BS-1 had 17.6 % and 20.9 % DNA–DNA relatedness values with DSM 1294 and DSM 753, respectively. The major components of the cellular fatty acids were C dimethyl aldehyde (DMA) (22.1 %), C aldehyde (14.1 %) and summed feature 11 (iso-C 3-OH and/or C DMA; 10.0 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 50.0 mol%. Phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics allowed strain BS-1 to be clearly distinguished from other taxa of the genus Cluster IV. On the basis of these data, the isolate is considered to represent a novel genus and novel species within Cluster IV, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type species is BS-1 ( = JCM 30532 and KCCM 43048).
