Abstract

A novel anaerobic, alkaliphilic, Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming bacterium was isolated from a carbonaceous hydrothermal chimney in Prony Bay, New Caledonia. This bacterium, designated strain 3b, grew at temperatures from 30 to 43 °C (optimum 37 °C) and at pH between 7.8 and 10.1 (optimum 9.5). Added NaCl was not required for growth (optimum 0–0.2 %, w/v), but was tolerated at up to 4 %. Yeast extract was required for growth. Strain 3b utilized crotonate, lactate and pyruvate, but not sugars. Crotonate was dismutated to acetate and butyrate. Lactate was disproportionated to acetate and propionate. Pyruvate was degraded to acetate plus trace amounts of hydrogen. Growth on lactate was improved by the addition of fumarate, which was used as an electron acceptor and converted to succinate. Sulfate, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, sulfite, nitrate, nitrite, FeCl, Fe(III)-citrate, Fe(III)-EDTA, chromate, arsenate, selenate and DMSO were not used as terminal electron acceptors. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 33.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the isolate is a member of the family , order within the phylum . Strain 3b was most closely related to ‘' FatMR1 (92.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), and was positioned approximately equidistantly between the genera , and . On the basis of phylogenetic, genetic, chemotaxonomic and physiological properties, strain 3b is proposed to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is 3b (=DSM 100013=JCM 30645).
