Abstract

A novel, mesophilic, strictly anaerobic, sulfate-reducing and propionate-oxidizing bacterium, strain Prop6, was enriched and isolated from a municipal anaerobic sewage sludge digester. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, catalase-positive, oval rods, motile by means of amphitrichous flagella, non-spore-forming and contained menaquinone MK-5(H2) as the major respiratory quinone. The genomic DNA GC content was 51.7 mol%. The optimal NaCl concentration, temperature and pH were 2–5 g l, 35 °C and pH 7.6, respectively. Strain Prop6 could only oxidize propionate, lactate and pyruvate (weakly) with sulfate, sulfite or thiosulfate, mainly to acetate. Strain Prop6 fermented pyruvate and lactate to acetate and propionate. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C, C, Cω7, Cω5, Cω6 and Cω7. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the newly isolated strain was a member of the genus , with DSM 2908, DSM 2032 and DSM 8777 as closest relatives among species with validly published names. On the basis of genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, it is proposed that the isolate represents a novel species, sp. nov. The type strain is Prop6 (=DSM 103420=JCM 31535).
