Abstract: | A new thermophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from the high-temperature White Tiger oil field (Vietnam) is described. Cells of the bacterium are oval (0.4–0.6 by 0.6–1.8 m), nonmotile, non-spore-forming, and gram-negative. Growth occurs at 45 to 65°C (with an optimum at 60°C) at NaCl concentrations of 0 to 50 g/l. In the course of sulfate reduction, the organism can utilize lactate, pyruvate, malate, fumarate, ethanol, salts of fatty acids (formate, acetate, propionate, butyrate, caproate, palmitate), yeast extract, alanine, serine, cysteine, and H2+ CO2(autotrophically). In addition to sulfate, the bacterium can use sulfite, thiosulfate, and elemental sulfur as electron acceptors. In the absence of electron acceptors, the bacterium can ferment pyruvate and yeast extract (a yet unrecognized capacity of sulfate reducers) with the formation of acetate and H2. The G+C content of DNA is 60.8 mol %. The level of DNA–DNA hybridization of the isolate (strain 101T) and Desulfacinum infernum(strain BG1T) is as low as 34%. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of 16S rDNA places strain 101Tin the phylogenetic cluster of the Desulfacinumspecies within the sulfate reducer subdivision of the delta subclass of Proteobacteria. All these results allowed the bacterium studied to be described as a new species, Desulfacinum subterraneumsp. nov., with strain 101 as the type strain. |
