Abstract

A mesophilic, anaerobic, cellulolytic and xylanolytic strain, UasXn-3, was isolated from anaerobic granular sludge in a mesophilic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor, which was used to treat municipal sewage. The cells were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, and non-spore-forming rods. The optimal temperature for growth was 37–40 °C and the optimal pH for growth was pH 6.5–7.0. Strain UasXn-3 could grow on several polysaccharides and sugars, including cellulose, cellobiose, xylan, xylose, glucose, fructose, arabinose, mannose, raffinose, trehalose and starch. The DNA G+C content was 44.4 mol%. On the basis of comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain UasXn-3 was identified as a member of the genus and most closely related to and (sequence similarities of 91.3–91.6 %). Since the genetic and phenotypic properties suggest that strain UasXn-3 represents a novel species, we propose the name sp. nov. The type strain is UasXn-3 ( = JCM 19020 = DSM 26991).
