Abstract

A novel sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, designated strain BiS0, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from a freshwater lake in Japan. The cells were rod-shaped, 1.4–4.6 × 0.4–0.7 μm and Gram-stain-negative. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was around 44 mol%. The isolate possessed summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6), C and C 3-OH as major cellular fatty acids. Strain BiS0 grew by carbon dioxide fixation and oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds with oxygen as the electron acceptor. Growth was observed over a temperature range of 0–32 °C (optimum, 15–22 °C), an NaCl concentration range of 0–546.4 mM (optimum 0–66.7 mM) and a pH range of 5.2–8.1 (optimum 6.1–6.3). Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, indicated that strain BiS0 belongs to the family in the class . The closest cultured relatives were skB26 and sp. T08, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 96.3 %. On the basis of the data obtained in this study, strain BiS0 represents a novel species of a novel genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BiS0 ( = NBRC 110941 = DSM 100309).
