sp. nov., a thermoacidophilic, sulfate-reducing, chemoautotrophic bacterium from a thermal site Free

Abstract

An obligately anaerobic, sulfate-reducing micro-organism, strain 3127-1, was isolated from geothermally heated soil (Oil Site, Uzon Caldera, Kamchatka, Russia). The new isolate was a moderately thermoacidophilic anaerobe able to grow with H or formate by respiration of sulfate or thiosulfate. The pH range for growth was 3.7–6.5, with an optimum at 4.8–5.0. The temperature range for growth was 37–65 °C, with an optimum at 55 °C. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 33.7 mol%. The genome of strain 3127-1 contained two almost identical 16S rRNA genes, differing by a single nucleotide substitution. The closest 16S rRNA gene sequence of a validly published species belonged to Na82 (99.5 % similarity). However, the average nucleotide identity of the genomes of strain 3127-1 and Na82 and the predicted DNA–DNA hybridization value (GGDC 2.1 , formula 2) were as low as 86 and 32.5±2.5 %, respectively. This, together with phenotypic data, showed the new isolate to belong to a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 3127-1 (=DSM 102892=VKM B-3043).
