Abstract
An obligately anaerobic, spore-forming sulphate-reducing bacterium, strain SB140T, was isolated from a long-term continuous enrichment culture that was inoculated with peat soil from an acidic fen. Cells were immotile, slightly curved rods that stained Gram-negative. The optimum temperature for growth was 28 °C. Strain SB140T grew at pH 4.0-7.5 with an optimum pH of 6.0-7.0 using various electron donors and electron acceptors. Yeast extract, sugars, alcohols and organic acids were used as electron donors for sulphate reduction. SB140T additionally used elemental sulphur and nitrate as electron acceptors but not sulphite, thiosulphate or iron(III) provided as ferrihydrite and fumarate. The 16S rRNA gene sequence placed strain SB140T in the genus Desulfosporosinus of the phylum Bacillota. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (52.6%) and 5,7 C15 : 2 (19.9%). The draft genome of SB140T (5.42 Mbp in size) shared 77.4% average nucleotide identity with the closest cultured relatives Desulfosporosinus acididurans M1T and Desulfosporosinus acidiphilus SJ4T. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic characteristics, SB140T was identified as a novel species within the genus Desulfosporosinus, for which we propose the name Desulfosporosinus paludis sp. nov. The type strain is SB140T (=DSM 117342T=JCM 39521T).
期刊介绍:
Published by the Microbiology Society and owned by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP), a committee of the Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology Division of the International Union of Microbiological Societies, International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology is the leading forum for the publication of novel microbial taxa and the ICSP’s official journal of record for prokaryotic names.
The journal welcomes high-quality research on all aspects of microbial evolution, phylogenetics and systematics, encouraging submissions on all prokaryotes, yeasts, microfungi, protozoa and microalgae across the full breadth of systematics including:
Identification, characterisation and culture preservation
Microbial evolution and biodiversity
Molecular environmental work with strong taxonomic or evolutionary content
Nomenclature
Taxonomy and phylogenetics.
