A novel anaerobic propionigenic bacterium, strain ADRIT, was isolated from sediment of an acid rock drainage environment (Tinto River, Spain). Cells were small (0.4–0.6×1–1.7 µm), non-motile and non-spore-forming rods. Cells possessed a Gram-negative cell-wall structure and were vancomycin-resistant. Strain ADRIT utilized yeast extract and various sugars as substrates and formed propionate, lactate and acetate as major fermentation products. The optimum growth temperature was 30 °C and the optimum pH for growth was pH 6.5, but strain ADRIT was able to grow at a pH as low as 3.0. Oxidase, indole formation, and urease and catalase activities were negative. Aesculin and gelatin were hydrolysed. The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain ADRIT were anteiso-C15 : 0 (30.3 %), iso-C15 : 0 (29.2 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (14.9 %). Major menaquinones were MK-8 (52 %) and MK-9 (48 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 39.9 mol%. Phylogenetically, strain ADRIT was affiliated to the family Porphyromonadaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes . The most closely related cultured species were Paludibacter propionicigenes with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 87.5 % and several species of the genus Dysgonomonas (similarities of 83.5–85.4 % to the type strains). Based on the distinctive ecological, phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics of strain ADRIT, a novel genus and species, Microbacter margulisiae gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is ADRIT ( = JCM 19374T = DSM 27471T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

Two halophilic archaeal strains, YC20T and XD15, were isolated from a marine solar saltern and an inland salt lake in China. Both had pleomorphic cells that lysed in distilled water, stained Gram-negative and formed red-pigmented colonies. They were neutrophilic, requiring at least 100 g NaCl l−1 and 0.5–95 g MgCl2 l−1 for growth at the optimum growth temperature of 37 °C. The major polar lipids of the two strains were phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester (PGP-Me), phosphatidylglycerol sulfate (PGS) and two major glycolipids chromatographically identical to sulfated mannosyl glucosyl diether (S-DGD-1) and mannosyl glucosyl diether (DGD-1), respectively. Trace amounts of two unidentified glycolipids were also detected. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the two strains were 99.5 % identical and showed 94.0–95.9 % similarity to the most closely related members of the genus Halobellus of the family Halobacteriaceae . The rpoB′ gene sequence similarity between strains YC20T and XD15 was 98.2 % and these sequences showed 89.6–92.8 % similarity to those of the most closely related members of the genus Halobellus . The DNA G+C contents of strains YC20T and XD15 were 65.8 mol% and 65.4 mol%, respectively. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain YC20T and strain XD15 was 92 %, and the two strains showed low DNA–DNA relatedness to members of the genus Halobellus . The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties suggest that strains YC20T and XD15 represent a novel species of the genus Halobellus , for which the name Halobellus inordinatus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YC20T ( = CGMCC 1.12120T = JCM 18361T) and the other strain is XD15 ( = CGMCC 1.12236 = JCM 18648).

A strictly anaerobic, moderately thermophilic, halotolerant rod, designated BELH25T, was isolated from a water sample of a Tunisian hot spring. Cells were non-motile, 2–6 µm long and 0.4–0.6 µm wide, appearing singly or in pairs. The isolate grew at 45–70 °C (optimum 55 °C), at pH 6.2–8.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and with 0–4 % NaCl (optimum 0–2.0 %). Sulfate, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, sulfite, nitrate and nitrite were not used as terminal electron acceptors. Strain BELH25T used cellobiose, fructose, galactose, glucose, maltose, mannose, sucrose, starch and yeast extract as electron donors. The main fermentation products from glucose metabolism were formate, acetate, ethanol and CO2. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 37.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain BELH25T was most closely related to Caloramator viterbiensis JW/MS-VS5T and Fervidicella metallireducens AeBT (92.2 and 92.1 % sequence similarity, respectively), and the isolate was positioned approximately equidistantly between these genera. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain BELH25T is proposed to be a member of a novel species of a novel genus within the order Clostridiales , family Clostridiaceae , for which the name Fonticella tunisiensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is BELH25T ( = DSM 24455T = JCM 17559T).

Novel strains of facultatively aerobic, moderately alkaliphilic and facultatively halophilic bacteria were isolated from a sediment sample taken from the Southern Arm of Great Salt Lake, Utah. Cells of strain JW/BP-GSL-QDT (and related strains JW/BP-GSL-RA and JW/BP-GSL-WB) were rod-shaped, spore-forming, motile bacteria with variable Gram-staining. Strain JW/BP-GSL-QDT grew under aerobic conditions between 14.5 and 47 °C (optimum 39 °C), in the pH37 °C range 6.5–10.3 (optimum pH37 °C 8.0), and between 0.1 and 4.5 M Na+ (optimum 0.9 M Na+). No growth was observed in the absence of supplemented Na+. Strain JW/BP-GSL-QDT utilized l-arabinose, d-fructose, d-galactose, d-glucose, inulin, lactose, maltose, mannitol, d-mannose, pyruvate, d-ribose, d-sorbitol, starch, trehalose, xylitol and d-xylose under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and used ethanol and methanol only under aerobic conditions. Strains JW/BP-GSL-WB and JW/BP-GSL-RA had the same profiles except that methanol was not used aerobically. During growth on glucose, the major organic compounds formed under aerobic conditions were acetate and lactate, and under anaerobic conditions, the fermentation products were formate, acetate, lactate and ethanol. Oxidase and catalase activities were not detected and cytochrome was absent. No respiratory quinones were detected. The main cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (39.1 %) and anteiso-C15 : 0 (36.3 %). Predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown phospholipid. Additionally, a small amount of an unknown glycolipid was detected. The DNA G+C content of strain JW/BP-GSL-QDT was 35.4 mol% (determined by HPLC). For strain JW/BP-GSL-QDT the highest degree of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity was found with Amphibacillus jilinensis (98.6 %), Amphibacillus sediminis (96.7 %) and Amphibacillus tropicus (95.6 %). The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain JW/BP-GSL-QDT and A. jilinensis Y1T was 58 %. On the basis of physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain JW/BP-GSL-QDT represents a novel species of the genus Amphibacillus , for which the name Amphibacillus cookii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JW/BP-GSL-QDT ( = ATCC BAA-2118T = DSM 23721T).

A facultatively anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, strain N-10T, was isolated from the gut of the termite Reticulitermes speratus. Strain N-10T was closely related to Dysgonomonas gadei JCM 16698T according to 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analysis (98 %) and DNA–DNA relatedness value (≤61.3 %). The optimum growth temperature of strain N-10T was 30 °C, which was distinct from that (37 °C) of known species of the genus Dysgonomonas . Growth of strain N-10T was inhibited on medium containing 5 or 20 % bile, unlike other species of the genus Dysgonomonas . In addition, acid production in the API 20A system and enzymic reactions in the Rapid ID 32A system of strain N-10T differed from those of other species of the genus Dysgonomonas . Based on these characteristics, strain N-10T represents a novel species of the genus Dysgonomonas , for which the name Dysgonomonas termitidis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is N-10T ( = JCM 30204T = CCUG 66188T).

A Gram-type-negative, obligately anaerobic, selenate-respiring bacterium, strain S4T, was isolated from activated sludge of a wastewater treatment plant in New Jersey after enrichment with 10 mM selenate as the sole electron acceptor. In addition to its selenate-respiring capability, strain S4T also respired arsenate with acetate as carbon source and electron donor. Fermentative growth was not observed. The optimum growth temperature was 37 °C and optimum pH was pH 7. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain S4T is a novel member of the family Deferribacteraceae , with the type strain of Denitrovibrio acetiphilus as its closest cultivated relative, with 91.5 % sequence similarity. The cellular fatty acid profile was composed predominantly of straight-chain fatty acids C14 : 0, C15 : 0, C16 : 0, C17 : 0 and C18 : 0, which distinguishes this organism from its closest relatives. The DNA G+C content was 47.7 mol%. Together, these findings support the conclusion that strain S4T represents a novel genus and species, for which the name Seleniivibrio woodruffii gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Seleniivibrio woodruffii is S4T ( = DSM 24984T = ATCC BAA-2290T).

A novel anaerobic, mesophilic, hydrogen-producing bacterium, designated strain M2/40T, was isolated from a mesophilic, two-phase, laboratory-scale biogas reactor fed continuously with maize silage supplemented with 5 % wheat straw. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison revealed an affiliation to the genus Clostridium sensu stricto (cluster I of the clostridia), with Clostridium cellulovorans as the closest characterized species, showing 93.8 % sequence similarity to the type strain. Cells of strain M2/40T were rods to elongated filamentous rods that showed variable Gram staining. Optimal growth occurred at 35 °C and at pH 7. Grown on glucose, the main fermentation products were H2, CO2, formate, lactate and propionate. The DNA G+C content was 29.6 mol%. The major fatty acids (>10 %) were C16 : 0, summed feature 10 (C18 : 1ω11c/ω9t/ω6t and/or unknown ECL 17.834) and C18 : 1ω11c dimethylacetal. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic differences, strain M2/40T represents a novel species within the genus Clostridium , for which we propose the name Clostridium bornimense sp. nov.

A novel obligately anaerobic spirochete strain K2T was isolated from bottom marine sediments at Crater Bay of Yankicha Island (Kuril Islands, Russia). Strain K2T had helical shape and Gram-negatively stained. The optimal growth conditions were as follows: the optimum temperature was 28–30 °C with range 5–34 °C; optimal pH at 7.0–7.5 with range of 6.8–8.5; NaCl optimum at 3–3.5 % (w/v) and range of 1–7 % (w/v). Strain K2T was catalase- and oxidase-negative. Glucose fermentation products were acetate, lactate, ethanol, CO2, H2. The major fatty acids were C14 : 0, iso-C13 : 0, iso-C15:0, C14 : 0 DMA, iso-C15 : 0 DMA. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 43.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA genes showed that strain K2T belonged to the genus Oceanispirochaeta of the family Spirochaetaceae . The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of strain K2T and O. litoralis DSM 2029T and O. sediminicola DSM 104770T was 96 and 94 %, respectively. Based on the results of our study, we propose the name Oceanispirochaeta crateris sp. nov.; type strain K2T (=DSM 16308T=VKM B-3266T). Also, the taxonomic status of Spirochaeta perfilevii was revised: 16S rRNA genes sequence showed less than 89 % similarity to nearest phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore, we proposed to separate this species into a novel genus Thiospirochaeta - T. perfilievii gen. nov., comb. nov.

Mill Tailing

Two Gram-positive-staining, rod-shaped, endospore-forming isolates (UG-2T and UG-3), with an optimum growth temperature of around 37 °C and an optimum pH for growth of about 4, were recovered from an acidic effluent of the uranium mill tailing at Urgeiriça in Central Portugal. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the strains belonged to the family Sporolactobacillaceae and were closely related to Pullulanibacillus naganoensis ATCC 53909T (97.9 %). Unlike P. naganoensis , strains UG-2T and UG-3 grew in medium containing up to 5000 p.p.m. U(VI) but did not hydrolyse pullulan. Chemotaxonomic data also supported the affiliation of strains UG-2T and UG-3 to the genus Pullulanibacillus . Physiological and biochemical tests along with fatty acid composition allowed differentiation of strains UG-2T and UG-3 from P. naganoensis . It is suggested that strains UG-2T and UG-3 represent a novel species, for which the name Pullulanibacillus uraniitolerans is proposed; the type strain is UG-2T ( = DSM 19429T = LMG 24205T). An emended description of the genus Pullulanibacillus is also proposed.
