Abstract

A novel sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain S28bF, was isolated from tidal flat sediment from Tokyo Bay, Japan. Cells of strain S28bF were rod-shaped (0.5–0.6×1.7–3.8 µm), motile and Gram-stain-negative. For growth, the optimum pH was pH 6.8–7.3 and the optimum temperature was 34–42 °C. Strain S28bF used sulfate and thiosulfate as electron acceptors, but not nitrate. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 56.6 mol%. The fatty acid profile of strain S28bF was characterized by the presence of anteiso-C and C as the major components. Phylogenetic analyses based on genes for 16S rRNA, the alpha subunit of dissimilatory sulfite reductase () and adenosine-5′-phosphosulfate reductase () revealed that the isolated strain belonged to the class . Its closest relative was DSM 7267 with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 93.3 %. Two other strains, S28OL1 and S28OL2 were also isolated from the same sediment. These strains were closely related to S28bF with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 99 %, and the same physiological characteristics were shared with strain S28bF. On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic characterization, a novel species in a new genus, gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate the strains obtained in this study. The type strain is S28bF ( = NBRC 107166 = DSM 23472).
