Abstract

A facultatively anaerobic, selenate- and arsenate-reducing bacterium, designated strain SF-1, was isolated from a selenium-contaminated sediment obtained from an effluent drain of a glass-manufacturing plant in Japan. The bacterium stained Gram-positive and was a motile, spore-forming rod capable of respiring with selenate, arsenate and nitrate as terminal electron acceptors. The major cellular fatty acids of the strain were iso-C, iso-C 10 and C 7 alcohol. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 42.8 mol%. Though the nearest phylogenetic neighbour was JCM 10885, with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99.6 %, DNA–DNA hybridization studies showed only 14 % relatedness between these strains, a level that is clearly below the value recommended to delimit different species. This, together with the phenotypic differences (utilization of electron acceptors, NaCl tolerance), suggests that strain SF-1 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SF-1 (=JCM 14380=DSM 18680).
