On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain CSK1T was mapped to cluster III of the genus Clostridium. Strain CSK1T is closely related to Clostridium thermocellum (96·2 %) and Clostridium aldrichii (95·1 %). Strain CSK1T is a non-motile, spore-forming, straight or slightly curved rod. The optimum temperature and initial pH for its growth and cellulose degradation are 50–55 °C and pH 7·5. Strain CSK1T grew under a gas phase containing up to 4 % O2. Phylogenetic and phenotypic analyses support the differentiation of strain CSK1T from its closest relatives. Strain CSK1T therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Clostridium straminisolvens sp. nov. is proposed, with CSK1T (=DSM 16021T=IAM 15070T) as the type strain., language=, type=
