gen. nov., sp. nov., an anaerobic amino-acid-degrading bacterium from an upflow anaerobic sludge reactor Free

Abstract

Strain ILE-2 was isolated from an upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactor treating brewery wastewater. The motile, non-sporulating, slightly curved cells (2–4×0.1 μm) stained Gram-negative and grew optimally at 42 °C and pH 7.1 with 0.5 % NaCl. The strain required yeast extract for growth and fermented Casamino acids, peptone, isoleucine, arginine, lysine, alanine, valine, glutamate, histidine, glutamine, methionine, malate, fumarate, glycerol and pyruvate to acetate, propionate and minor amounts of branched-chain fatty acids. Carbohydrates, formate, acetate, propionate, butyrate, isovalerate, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, butanol, lactate, succinate, starch, casein, gelatin, xylan and a number of other amino acids were not utilized. The DNA G+C content of strain ILE-2 was 52.7 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that ILE-2 was distantly related to members of the genera (83 % similarity) and (85 % similarity) in the family , order , phylum . On the basis of the results of our polyphasic analysis, strain ILE-2 represents a novel species and genus within the family , for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is ILE-2 (=DSM 16581 =JCM 14039).
