Abstract

A strictly anaerobic bacterial strain designated EA1 was isolated from an enrichment culture inoculated with biogas reactor content. Cells of strain EA1 are spore-forming rods (1–3×0.4–0.8 µm) and stain Gram-negative, albeit they possess a Gram-positive type of cell-wall ultrastructure. Growth of strain EA1 was observed at 30 and 37 °C and within a pH range of pH 5–9. The major components recovered in the fatty acid fraction were C, C, C DMA (dimethyl acetal) and C 7. Strain EA1 fermented several mono- and disaccharides. Metabolic end products from fructose were acetate, butyrate, caproate and lactate. Furthermore, ethanol, CO and H were identified as products. The genome consists of a chromosome (3.9 Mbp) with 3797 predicted protein-encoding genes and a G+C content of 51.25 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain EA1 represents a novel taxon within the family . The most closely related type strains of EA1, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence identity, are BS-1 (94.9 %), [] DSM 753 (93.8 %), [] DSM 1294 (91.7 %) and ATCC 27255 (91.0 %). Further phenotypic characteristics of strain EA1 differentiate it from related, validly described bacterial species. Strain EA1 represents a novel genus and novel species within the family . The proposed name is gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is EA1 (DSM 107079=JCM 33110).
