gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel bacterium in the family isolated from municipal wastewater Free

Abstract

Phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on three isolates of an unknown Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped organism isolated from raw sewage. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains were members of the branch of the family . The unknown bacterium was readily distinguished from reference strains by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and biochemical tests. The organism contained menaquinone MK-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone and had a DNA G+C content of 31 mol%. A most probable number-PCR approach was developed to detect, and estimate the numbers of, this organism. Untreated wastewater from one plant yielded an estimated count of 1.4×10 cells ml, and untreated wastewater from a second plant yielded an estimated count of 1.4×10 cells ml. Signal was not detected from treated effluent or from human stool specimens. On the basis of the results of the study presented, it is proposed that the unknown bacterium be classified in a novel genus , as gen. nov., sp. nov., which is also the type species. The type strain of is strain NRS1 (=CCUG 46293=CIP 108613=ATCC BAA-825=DSM 15886).
