| Abstract |
A novel, strictly anaerobic, short rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain TBC1T, was isolated from methanogenic granular sludge in a full-scale mesophilic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor treating high-strength starch-based organic wastewater. Cells of this strain were 2-4 µm long and 0.4-0.6 µm wide. They were non-motile and Gram-stain-negative. The optimum growth temperature was 30-37 °C, with a range of 20-40 °C. The optimum pH for growth was around pH 7.0, while growth occurred in a range of pH 6.5-9.0. Strain TBC1T grew chemo-organotrophically on a narrow range of carbohydrates under anaerobic conditions. Yeast extract was required for its growth. The major fermentative end products from glucose, supplemented with yeast extract, were acetate, malate, propionate, formate and hydrogen. Doubling time under optimal growth conditions was estimated to be 1 day. The DNA G+C content of strain TBC1T was 49.2 mol% as determined by HPLC. Major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 0, C16 : 1ω9c and C18 : 1ω9c. Based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain TBC1T was shown to represent a distinct lineage at the family level in the phylum Bacteroidetes. Among previously described species of this phylum, Mucilaginibacter boryungensis BDR-9T (Sphingobacteriaceae) displayed the highest sequence similarity (85.9 %) with strain TBC1T. Phylogenomic analyses using 38-83 single copy marker genes also supported the novelty of strain TBC1T at the family level. Based on its characteristics, strain TBC1T (=JCM 30898T=DSM 100618T) is considered to be the type strain of a novel species of a new genus, Lentimicrobium saccharophilum gen. nov., sp. nov. A new family, Lentimicrobiaceae fam. nov., is also proposed encompassing the strain and related environmental 16S rRNA gene clone sequences.
