gen. nov., sp. nov., a thermophilic, autotrophic, sulfite-reducing and disproportionating deltaproteobacterium isolated from a shallow-sea hydrothermal vent Free

Abstract

A thermophilic, anaerobic, chemolithoautotrophic bacterium, strain SH388, was isolated from a shallow, submarine hydrothermal vent (Kuril Islands, Russia). Cells of strain SH388 were Gram-stain-negative short rods, 0.2–0.4 µm in diameter and 1.0–2.5 µm in length, and motile with flagella. The temperature range for growth was 25–58 °C (optimum 50 °C), and the pH range for growth was pH 5.0–7.0 (optimum pH 6.0–6.5). Growth of strain SH388 was observed in the presence of NaCl concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 4.0 % (w/v) (optimum 2.0–2.5 %). The strain grew chemolithoautotrophically with molecular hydrogen as electron donor, sodium sulfite as electron acceptor and bicarbonate/CO as a carbon source. It was also able to grow by disproportionation of sulfite and elemental sulfur but not thiosulfate. Sulfate, Fe(III) and nitrate were not used as electron acceptors either with H or organic electron donors. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the class and was most closely related to and (91.6 % and 90.4 % sequence similarity). On the basis of its physiological properties and results of phylogenetic analyses, strain SH388 is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the species is SH388 (=DSM 100025=VKM B-2960). It is the first thermophilic disproportionator of sulfur compounds isolated from a shallow-sea environment.
