Abstract

Three obligately aerobic, heterotrophic bacteria, designated strains WM1, TPB606 and TPB621, were isolated from acidic -dominated tundra and Siberian wetlands in Russia. Cells of these isolates were Gram-negative, non-motile coccobacilli that occurred singly, in pairs or in chains, and were covered by large capsules. The novel strains were moderately acidophilic and psychrotolerant organisms capable of growth at pH 3.0–7.6 and 2–30 °C. Cells contained numerous intracellular poly--hydroxybutyrate granules (3–4 per cell). The major cellular fatty acid was cyclo C 8 and the predominant quinone was Q-10. Strains TPB606 and TPB621, isolated from Siberian wetland, possessed almost identical 16S rRNA gene sequences and shared 97.2 % sequence similarity with tundra strain WM1. The three strains were shown to belong to the , but were related only distantly to the type strains of acidophilic bacteria (93.4–94.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), (92.2–93.3 %), and members of the genera (91.3–93 %) and (91.8–92.4 %). The DNA G+C contents of the novel strains were 60.5–61.9 mol%. The low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness (37 %) and a number of phenotypic differences between the Siberian strains TPB606 and TPB621 and the tundra strain WM1 indicated that they represent two separate species. As the three isolates are clearly distinct from all recognized acidophilic members of the , they are considered to represent two novel species of a new genus, for which the names gen. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov. are proposed. The type strain of is TPB606 (=DSM 21000=VKM B-2487) and the type strain of is WM1 (=DSM 19999=VKM B-2488).
