Abstract
A novel anaerobic, thermophilic bacterium of the class Atribacteria, strain M15T, was isolated from a high-temperature gas reservoir, Japan. Cells of strain M15T were gram-negative, short oval-shaped, and lacked flagella. Growth occurred at 45–75 °C (optimum 70–75 °C) and pH 6.5–8.5 (optimum pH 7.5–8.0) and was fast under optimal conditions (doubling time 11.4 h). Yeast extract was required for growth. Fermentative growth with glucose, arabinose, xylose, and cellobiose was observed. The major fermentative end products of glucose were acetate and hydrogen. The major cellular fatty acids were C16:0, iso-C15:0, and C18:0. The genomic G + C content was 46.0 mol%. Fluorescence and electron microscopy observations revealed the intracellular localization of genomic DNA surrounded by a membrane in the cells of strain M15T as reported in a sole validly described species of the class Atribacteria in the phylum Atribacterota, Atribacter laminatus strain RT761T, suggesting that the unique morphological traits are widely shared in this class. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that strain M15T belongs to a distinct family-level lineage in the class Atribacteria and shows low similarities to Atribacter laminatus strain RT761T (16S rRNA gene sequence identity of 90.1 %, average nucleotide identity [ANI] of 66.1 %, average amino acid identity [AAI] of 55.8 %). Phenotypic traits of strain M15T (thermophilic, fast-growing, relatively high G + C content, etc.) were clearly distinct from A. laminatus. Based on these phenotypic and genomic properties, we propose a novel genus and species, Atrimonas thermophila gen. nov., sp. nov. for strain M15T (=JCM39389T, =KCTC25731T) representing a novel family Atrimonadaceae fam., nov. in the class Atribacteria.
期刊介绍:
Systematic and Applied Microbiology deals with various aspects of microbial diversity and systematics of prokaryotes. It focuses on Bacteria and Archaea; eukaryotic microorganisms will only be considered in rare cases. The journal perceives a broad understanding of microbial diversity and encourages the submission of manuscripts from the following branches of microbiology:
