Abstract

A novel aerotolerant anaerobic, moderately thermophilic, organotrophic bacterium, strain MBL-TLP, was isolated from a sample of microbial mat, developed under the flow of subsurface water in TauTona gold mine, South Africa. Cells of the new isolate were flagellated, spore-forming rods, 0.25–0.5 µm in width and 3–15 µm in length. Strain MBL-TLP grew in the temperature range from 25 to 58 °C, pH range from 5.6 to 8.8 and at NaCl concentration from 0 to 85 g l. The isolate was able to ferment yeast extract and mono-, oligo- and polysaccharides, including starch and xanthan gum. The G+C content of the DNA was 35 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain MBL-TLP and relatives showed its affiliation to the genus . STGH was its closest relative (97.1 % identity of 16S rRNA gene sequences). Based on phylogenetic analysis and the physiological properties of the novel isolate, we propose a novel species, sp. nov., with MBL-TLP(=DSM 28123=VKM В-2949) as the type strain.
