| Abstract |
A novel thermophilic and sulfur-reducing heterotrophic bacterium, strain TFS10-5(T), was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal field in Yonaguni Knoll IV, Southern Okinawa Trough. Cells of strain TFS10-5(T) were motile rods, 1.5-5 microm in length and 0.5-0.8 microm in width. Strain TFS10-5(T) was an obligately anaerobic heterotroph and sulfur-reduction stimulated growth. Growth was observed between 30 and 70 degrees C (optimum at 55-60 degrees C), pH 5.0-7.4 (optimum at pH 5.5-5.8), 1.0-5.5 NaCl % (optimum at 3.0-3.5 %). The fatty acid content was C(16 : 0) (71.0 %), C(16 : 1) (6.0 %), C(18 : 0) (21.4 %) and C(18 : 1) (1.6 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 28 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain TFS10-5(T) belongs to the genus Marinitoga. Based on the physiological and phylogenetic features of the new isolate, strain TFS10-5(T) represents a novel species in the genus Marinitoga for which the name Marinitoga okinawensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TFS10-5(T) (=JCM 13303(T)=DSM 17373(T)).
