Abstract

A bacterial strain capable of degrading some monochlorinated dibenzofurans, designated RW16, was isolated from aerobic River Elbe sediments. The strain was characterized based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA G+C content, physiological characteristics, polyamines, ubiquinone and polar lipid pattern and fatty acid composition. This analysis revealed that strain RW16 represents a novel species of the genus . The DNA G+C content of strain RW16, 60.7 mol%, is the lowest yet reported for the genus. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis placed strain RW16 as an outlier in the genus . The name sp. nov. is proposed for this dibenzofuran-mineralizing organism, with type strain RW16 (=DSM 12677=CIP 109198).
