From a hydrothermal vent site off the Mexican west coast (20°50′N, 109°06′W) at a depth of 2,600 m, a novel, hyperthermophilic,
anaerobic archaeum was isolated. Cells were round to slightly irregular cocci, 1.2–2.5 μm in diameter and were motile by means
of a tuft of flagella. The new isolate grew between 60 and 93°C (optimum: 85°C), from pH 3.5 to 9 (optimum: pH 6.7), and from
0.8 to 8% NaCl (optimum: 2%). The isolate was an obligate organotroph, using chitin, yeast extract, meat extract, and peptone
for growth. Chitin was fermented to H2, CO2, NH3, acetate, and formate. H2S was formed in the presence of sulfur. The chitinoclastic enzyme system was oxygen-stable, cell-associated, and inducible
by chitin. The cell wall was composed of a surface layer of hex- americ protein complexes arranged on a p6 lattice. The core
lipids consisted of glycerol diphytanyl diethers and acyclic and cyclic glycerol diphytanyl tetraethers. The G+C content was
46.5 mol%. DNA/DNA hybridization and 16S rRNA sequencing indicated that the new isolate belongs to the genus Thermococcus, representing a new species, Thermococcus chitonophagus. The type strain is isolate GC74, DSM 10152.

From a shallow marine hydrothermal system at Vulcano (Italy), a new hyperthermophilic member of the Archaea was isolated. The cells are coccoid – shaped and possess up to five flagella. They grow between 56° and 93°C (optimum 85°C)
and pH 5.0–9.5 (optimum 9.0). The organism is strictly anaerobic and grows heterotrophically on defined amino acids and complex
organic substrates such as casamino acids, yeast extract, peptone, meat extract, tryptone, and casein. Polysulfide and elemental
sulfur are reduced to H2S. In the absence of polysulfide or elemental sulfur, the isolate grows at a significantly reduced rate. Growth is not influenced
by the presence of H2. DNA–DNA hybridization and 16S rRNA partial sequences indicated that the new isolate belongs to the genus Thermococcus, and represents a new species, Thermococcus acidaminovorans. The type strain is isolate AEDII10 (DSM 11906).

A novel, irregular, coccoid-shaped archaeum was isolated from a hydrothermally heated black smoker wall at the TAG site at
the Mid Atlantic Ridge (depth 3650 meters). It grew at between 90°C and 113°C (optimum 106°C) and pH 4.0–6.5 (optimum 5.5)
and 1%–4% salt (optimum 1.7%). The organism was a facultatively aerobic obligate chemolithoautotroph gaining energy by H2-oxidation. Nitrate, S2O3
2–, and low concentrations of O2 (up to 0.3% v/v) served as electron acceptors, yielding NH+
4, H2S, and H2O as end products, respectively. Growth was inhibited by acetate, pyruvate, glucose, starch, or sulfur. The new isolate was
able to form colonies on plates (at 102°C) and to grow at a pressure of 25000 kPa (250 bar). Exponentially growing cultures
survived a one-hour autoclaving at 121°C. The GC content was 53mol%. The core lipids consisted of glycerol–dialkyl glycerol
tetraethers and traces of 2,3-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerol. The cell wall was composed of a surface layer of tetrameric protein complexes arranged on a p4-lattice (center-to-center
distance 18.5nm). By its 16S rRNA sequence, the new isolate belonged to the Pyrodictiaceae. Based on its GC-content, DNA homology, S-layer composition, and metabolism, we describe here a new genus, which we name
Pyrolobus (the "fire lobe"). The type species is Pyrolobus fumarii (type strain 1A; DSM).

A new type of gas-vacuolated, sulfate-reducing bacterium was isolated at 10° C from reduced mud (E0 < 0) obtained from a temperate estuary with thiosulfate and lactate as substrates. The strain was moderately psychrophilic
with optimum growth at 18–19° C and a maximum growth temperature of 24° C. Propionate, lactate, and alcohols served as electron
donors and carbon sources. The organism grew heterotrophically only with hydrogen as electron donor. Propionate and lactate
were incompletely oxidized to acetate; traces of lactate were fermented to propionate, CO2, and possibly acetate in the presence of sulfate. Pyruvate was utilized both with and without an electron acceptor present.
The strain did not contain desulfoviridin. The G+C content was 48.4 mol%. The differences in the 16S rRNA sequence of the
isolate compared with that of its closest phylogenetic neighbors, bacteria of the genus Desulfobulbus, support the assignment of the isolate to a new genus. The isolate is described as the type strain of the new species and
genus, Desulforhopalus vacuolatus.

A novel thermophilic, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium strain, designated Buff, was isolated from buffalo-dung samples collected
from a buffalo-farm located in Caserta (Campania, south of Italy). Strain Buff was Gram-positive, motile and no spore-forming.
The growth temperature range was 40–65°C with an optimum at 60°C, while pH growth range at 60°C was 5.5–8.0 with an optimum
at about pH 6.5. NaCl growth concentration ranged from 0 to 2.0% with an optimum at 0.5% (w/v); no growth was observed with
the presence of NaCl 3.0% (w/v). The strain produced ethanol, acetate, lactate, H2, H2S and CO2 by glucose fermentation. The DNA G + C content was 34.4 mol%. As determined by 16S rRNA sequence analysis, this organism
belonged to the genus Thermoanaerobacterium. On the basis of the physiological and molecular properties, we propose for strain Buff the new species designation Thermoanaerobacterium thermostercus sp. nov. This novel organism represents the first species of the genus Thermoanaerobacterium isolated from buffalo-dung. The type strain is Buff (=DSM 22141 = ATCC BAA-1776). 相似文献

A new mesophilic, monotrichously flagellated methane-producing coccus of 1m in diameter was isolated from an anaerobic sour whey digester, originally inoculated with sewage sludge. Growth and methane production were observed with H2/CO2, formate and — less effectively — with 2-propanol/CO2. The isolate grew at temperatures between 15° C and 45° C with the optimum at around 37° C. Acetate, yeast extract and tungstate were required in the medium. Clarified rumen fluid stimulated growth.The DNA of the new methanogen has a G+C content of 48.5 mol%. Comparative 16 S rRNA oligonucleotide cataloguing allows to define the new isolate as a member of a new genus of the order Methanomicrobiales. Further evidence for this is provided by the antigenic crossreactivity with anti-S probes and by metabolic features.Because of its small size the new methanogen is named Methanocorpusculum parvum.This work was supported by a grant of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG to J. W. and E. S. Immunologic studies were supported in part by grants No. DE-FGO2-84 R 13197 from the U.S. Department of Energy, and No. 261.81/82 from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 相似文献

The extremely thermophilic ethanol-producing strain A3 was isolated from a hot spring in Iceland. The cells were rod-shaped,
motile, and had terminal spores; cells from the mid-to-late exponential growth phase stained gram-variable but had a gram-positive
cell wall structure when viewed by transmission electron microscopy. Strain A3 used a number of carbohydrates as carbon sources,
including xylan, but did not utilize microcrystalline cellulose. Fermentation end products were ethanol, acetate, lactate,
CO2, and H2. The temperature optimum for growth was between 70 and 75° C, and growth occurred in the range of 50–75° C. The pH range
for growth was 4.7–8.8, with an optimum at pH 7.0. Strain A3 was sensitive to tetracycline, chloramphenicol, penicillin G,
neomycin, and vancomycin at 100 mg/l but was not sensitive to chloramphenicol and neomycin at 10 mg/l, which indicates that
strain A3 belongs to the eubacteria. Addition of 50.66 kPa H2 or 2% NaCl did not affect growth. The isolate grew in the presence of exogenously added 4% (w/v) ethanol. The G+C ratio was
37 mol%. 16S rDNA studies revealed that strain A3 belongs to the genus Thermoanaerobacter. Genotypic and phenotypic differences between strain A3 and other related species indicate that strain A3 can be assigned
to a new species, and the name Thermoanaerobacter mathranii is proposed.

A culture isolated from garden soil was found to be a promising L-glutaminase producer. Biochemical identification tests and
16S rRNA sequencing identified this isolate to be Klebsiella oxytoca. Subsequently, media optimization using one-factor-at-a-time approach and response surface methodology was undertaken. A
face centered central composite design was employed to investigate the interactive effects of four variables, viz. concentrations of maltose, yeast extract, beef extract, and ammonium acetate on glutaminase production. Almost all factors
had significant interactive effects on glutaminase production. A medium containing (g/L): maltose, 23.31; yeast extract, 20.0;
beef extract, 20.01; ammonium acetate, 10.0; mannitol, 10.0; KH2PO4, 0.4; Na2SO4, 0.4; and MgCl2, 0.4 was optimum for glutaminase production. The applied methodology was validated using this optimized media and enzyme
activity of 458.91 ± 9.49 U/L and specific activity of 0.441 ± 0.04 U/mg protein after 42 h of incubation at 33°C were obtained. 相似文献

A novel haloalkaliphilic bacterium designated as strain BNMIITR was isolated from a soil sample collected from Sambhar lake, Rajasthan, in northern India. Colonies of the isolated strain were dark orange and comprised Gram-negative bacilli; there was a slight pleomorphism towards the stationary phase of growth. Experiments revealed that the isolate can grow in the range of 2–5 M NaCl, pH 6–11 and 18–55 °C, with optimum growth observed at 3 M NaCl, pH 8–8.5 and 45 °C. No growth was observed in culture medium without NaCl. The isolate showed no requirement for magnesium sulphate heptahydrate (MgSO4 .7H2O) for growth. Major cellular fatty acids were C 14:0, C 15:0 iso, C 15:0 anteiso, C 16:0, C 17:0 iso, C 17:0 anteiso and C 20:2 w6, 9c. The result of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed 98 % sequence similarity with Halobiforma lacisalsi and Hbf. haloterrestris. Halobiforma sp. strain BNMIITR showed resistance towards several antibiotics and produced an extracellular alkaline protease. The crude enzyme was found to be active in broad range of alkaline pH and temperature (30–80 °C). 相似文献

A new methanogenic isolate, designated as strain N2M9705 (=OCM 668), was isolated from an aquaculture fishpond near Wang-gong,
Taiwan. This strain grew on trimethylamine and methanol, but it did not catabolize H2-CO2, acetate, or formate. The cells were stained Gram-negative, nonmotile, irregular coccus 0.6–0.8 μm in diameter. Gas vacuoles
were observed and cell aggregated to form various sizes of granules. Cells grew optimally at 32°–37°C with 1% NaCl. The pH
range of growth was 6.2–7.4, and higher pH inhibited the cell growth. The cells grew well in minimal medium, but growth was
greatly stimulated by yeast extract and peptone. A comparison of 16S rDNA sequences of this organism phylogenetically related
to Methanosarcina mazei. This is the first report of methyltrophic methanogenic isolated from an aquaculture fishpond.

A new halophilic anaerobe was isolated from the hypersaline surface sediments of El-Djerid Chott, Tunisia. The isolate, designated
as strain 6SANG, grew at NaCl concentrations ranging from 14 to 30%, with an optimum at 20–22%. Strain 6SANG was a non-spore-forming,
non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, appearing singly, in pairs, or occasionally as long chains (0.7–1 × 4–13 μm) and showed
a Gram-negative-like cell wall pattern. It grew optimally at pH values between 7.2 and 7.4, but had a very broad pH range
for growth (5.9–8.4). Optimum temperature for growth was 42°C (range 30–50°C). Strain 6SANG required yeast extract for growth
on sugars. Glucose, sucrose, galactose, mannose, maltose, cellobiose, pyruvate, and starch were fermented. The end products
from glucose fermentation were acetate, butyrate, lactate, H2, and CO2. The G + C ratio of the DNA was 34.3 mol%. Strain 6SANG exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 91–92% with
members of the genus Halobacteroides, H. halobius being its closest phylogenetic relative. Based on phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, we propose that this bacterium
be classified as a novel species of a novel genus, Halanaerobaculum tunisiense gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is 6SANGT (=DSM 19997T = JCM 15060T). 相似文献

Terrestrial geothermal ecosystems are hostile habitats, characterized by large emissions of environmentally relevant gases such as CO2, CH4, H2S and H2. These conditions provide a niche for chemolithoautotrophic microorganisms. Methanotrophs of the phylum Verrucomicrobia, which inhabit these ecosystems, can utilize these gases and grow at pH levels below 1 and temperatures up to 65°C. In contrast, methanotrophs of the phylum Proteobacteria are primarily found in various moderate environments. Previously, novel verrucomicrobial methanotrophs were detected and isolated from the geothermal soil of the Favara Grande on the island of Pantelleria, Italy. The detection of pmoA genes, specific for verrucomicrobial and proteobacterial methanotrophs in this environment, and the partially overlapping pH and temperature growth ranges of these isolates suggest that these distinct phylogenetic groups could coexist in the environment. In this report, we present the isolation and characterization of a thermophilic and acid-tolerant gammaproteobacterial methanotroph (family Methylococcaceae) from the Favara Grande. This isolate grows at pH values ranging from 3.5 to 7.0 and temperatures from 35°C to 55°C, and diazotrophic growth was demonstrated. Its genome contains genes encoding particulate and soluble methane monooxygenases, XoxF- and MxaFI-type methanol dehydrogenases, and all enzymes of the Calvin cycle. For this novel genus and species, we propose the name ‘Candidatus Methylocalor cossyra’ CH1. 相似文献

A methanogen, strain AK-1, was isolated from permanently cold marine sediments, 38- to 45-cm below the sediment surface at
Skan Bay, Alaska. The cells were highly irregular, nonmotile coccoids (diameter, 1 to 1.2 μm), occurring singly. Cells grew
by reducing CO2 with H2 or formate as electron donor. Growth on formate was much slower than that on H2. Acetate, methanol, ethanol, 1- or 2-propanol, 1- or 2-butanol and trimethylamine were not catabolized. The cells required
acetate, thiamine, riboflavin, a high concentration of vitamin B12, and peptones for growth; yeast extract stimulated growth but was not required. The cells grew fastest at 25 °C (range 5
°C to 25 °C), at a pH of 6.0 – 6.6 (growth range, pH 5.5 – 7.5), and at a salinity of 0.25 – 1.25 M Na+. Cells of this and other H2-using methanogens from saline environments metabolized H2 to a very low threshold pressure (less than 1 Pa) that was dependent on the methane partial pressure. We propose that the
threshold pressure may be limited by the energetics of catabolism. The sequence of the 16S rDNA gene of strain AK-1 was most
similar (98%) to the sequences of Methanogenium cariaci JR-1 and Methanogenium frigidum Ace-2. DNA–DNA hybridization between strain AK-1 and these two strains showed only 34.9% similarity to strain JR-1 and 56.5%
similarity to strain Ace-2. These analyses indicated strain AK-1 should be classified as a new species within the genus Methanogenium. Phenotypic differences between strain AK-1 and these strains (including growth temperature, salinity range, pH range, and
nutrient requirements) support this. Therefore, a new species, Methanogenium marinum, is proposed with strain AK-1 as type strain.

A novel thermophilic anaerobic and microaerophilic bacterium (optimal growth in the presence of 5–10% O2), strain Nad S1T was isolated from the terrestrial hot spring of Hammam Sidi Jdidi, Nabeul, Tunisia. Cells were motile rods having a Gram-positive
cell wall structure. Strain Nad S1T grew optimally at 55°C (range 37–70°C). Optimum pH for growth was 6.5–7.0. It was halotolerant growing with NaCl up to 7%
(optimum concentration 1.5–3.0%). It grew chemoorganotrophically on various carbohydrates, organic-acids and amino-acids as
energy sources, or chemolithotrophically on H2 using nitrate, as terminal electron acceptor. Beside oxygen (under microaerobic conditions) and nitrate, nitrite was also
used. Nitrate was completely reduced to N2. No fermentation occurred. The genomic DNA G + C content was 41.8 mol%. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain
Nad S1T belongs to the Bacillaceae family within the class ‘Bacilli’. Because of its phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics, we propose this isolate to be assigned as a novel genus and
a novel species within the domain Bacteria, Microaerobacter geothermalis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is Nad S1T (=DSM 22679T =JCM 16213T). 相似文献

Three strains of new obligately anaerobic alkaliphilic bacteria have been isolated as a saccharolytic component from the cellulolytic community of alkaline Lake Nizhnee Beloe (Transbaikal region, Russia), a lake with low salt concentration. DNA analysis of these strains showed an interspecies level of DNA similarity of 96–100%. Strain Z-79820 was selected for further investigations. Cells were Gram-positive, asporogenous, nonmotile short rods with pointed ends. The strain was a true alkaliphile: growth occurred from pH 7.2 to 10.2 with the optimum at pH 9.0. Strain Z-79820 was halotolerant and could grow in medium with up to 10% (w/v) NaCl, with the optimum between 0 and 4% NaCl. The new isolate obligately depended on Na+ ions in the form of carbonates or chlorides. Total Na+ content needed for optimal growth was 0.46 M Na+, with a wide range from 0.023–0.9 M Na+ at which growth also occurred. The isolate was a mesophile and grew at temperatures from 6 to 50°C (slow growth at 6 and 15°C) with an optimum at 35°C. The organotrophic organism fermented ribose, xylose, glucose, mannose, fructose, sucrose, mannitol, and peptone. The products of glucose fermentation were acetate, ethanol, formate, H2, and CO2. Yeast extract was required for some anabolic needs. The DNA G+C content of the type strain Z-79820 was 42.1 mol%. The new bacterium fell into the 16S rRNA gene cluster XV of the Gram-positive bacteria with low G+C content, where it formed an individual branch. Based on its growth characteristics and genotype traits, we propose the new genus and species named Alkalibacter saccharofermentans with the type strain Z-79820 (=DSM14828), Uniqem-218 (Institute Microbiology, RAS; ). 相似文献

A Gram-positive, moderately halophilic, facultatively alkaliphilic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, obligately aerobic, filamentous
actinomycete strain, designated YIM 90022T, was isolated from saline soil collected from the Qaidam Basin, north-west China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA
gene sequences indicated that the new isolate was a member of the genus Nocardiopsis and the sequence similarities between the isolate and the type strains of members of the genus Nocardiopsis were in the range of 95.1–98.7%. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties of this organism also indicated that strain YIM
90022T was a member of the genus Nocardiopsis. The strain grew well on most of the media tested, producing yellow-white to deep brown substrate mycelium and white aerial
mycelium. Light gray to deep brown diffusible pigments were produced. The substrate mycelium was well developed and fragmented
with age; the aerial mycelium produced long, straight to flexuous spore chains with non-motile, smooth-surfaced, rod-shaped
spores on them. The strain grew in the presence of 1–15% (w/v) total salts (optimum, 3–5%) and at pH 6.0–10.5 (optimum, pH
8.5) and 10–45°C (optimum, 30°C). Whole-cell hydrolysates of strain YIM 90022T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and no diagnostic sugars. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H4), MK-9(H8), MK-10(H6) and MK-10(H8). Polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylmethylethanolamine.
The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16:0, anteiso-C17:0, 10-methyl-C18:0 and 10-methyl-C17:0. The DNA G + C content of strain YIM 90022T was 71.5 mol%. The combination of phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA relatedness data, phenotypic characteristics and chemotaxonomic
data supported the suggestion that strain YIM 90022T represents a new species of the genus Nocardiopsis, for which the name Nocardiopsis terrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 90022T (=CCTCC AA 208011T =KCTC 19431T). 相似文献

A new species of Archaea was isolated from an industrial mineral sulphide bioleach heap. Strain BH2, a non-motile pleomorphic coccus, was capable of chemomixotrophic growth on ferrous sulphate and yeast extract. Growth was not supported in the absence of yeast extract. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene showed that strain BH2 was most closely related to the species Ferroplasma acidiphilum; however, it showed only 95% sequence similarity with this species. Strain BH2 had a temperature optimum of 53.6°C and a temperature range for growth between 22 and 63°C. Thus, it is the first moderately thermophilic member of the genus Ferroplasma. The optimum pH for the growth of the strain occurred between pH 1.0 and 1.2 and the lowest pH at which growth was observed was 0.4. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and other physiological characteristics, strain BH2 constitutes a new species within the genus Ferroplasma. The name Ferroplasma cupricumulans is proposed for the new species and strain BH2 (DSM 16651) is proposed as the type strain. 相似文献

A novel barophilic, extremely thermophilic bacterium was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney at the Iheya
Basin, in the Okinawa area, Japan. The cells were found to be rod shaped and surrounded by a sheath-like outer structure;
the organism did not possess flagella and was not motile. Growth was observed between 45° and 80°C (optimum, 72°C, 45 min
doubling time), pH 5.3 and 9.3 (optimum, pH 7.2–7.6), 6.6 and 79 g/l sea salts (optimum, 40 g/l), and 0.1 and 60 MPa (optimum,
20 MPa). Strain IHB1 was found to be a strictly anaerobic chemoorganotroph capable of utilizing yeast extract and proteinaceous
substrates such as peptone and tryptone. Elemental sulfur or thiosulfate acted as electron acceptors improving growth. The
isolate was able to utilize casein as a sole carbon and energy source in the presence of thiosulfate. The G + C content of
the genomic DNA was 31.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences and DNA–DNA hybridization analysis indicated
that the isolate is closely related to Thermosipho africanus; however, it represents a species distinct from the previously described members of the genus Thermosipho. On the basis of the physiological and molecular properties, we propose that the new isolate represents a new species, which
we name Thermosipho japonicus sp. nov. (type strain: IHB1; JCM10495).

A novel coccoid-shaped, hyperthermophilic, anaerobic archaeon, strain RG-20, was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent
fluid sample taken at 1394-m depth at the Mid-Okinawa Trough (27°32.7′N, 126°58.5′E). Cells of this isolate occur singly or
in pairs and are about 0.8 to 2 μm in diameter. Growth was observed at temperatures between 50° and 93°C, with an optimum
at 85°C. The pH range for growth is 5.0–9.0, with an optimum around 7.0. Strain RG-20 requires 1%–4% of NaCl for growth, and
cell lysis occurs at concentrations below 1%. The newly isolated strain grows preferentially in the presence of elemental
sulfur on proteinaceous substrates such as yeast extract, peptone, or tryptone, and no growth was observed on carbohydrates,
carboxylic acids, alcohols, or lipids. This microorganism is resistant to streptomycin, chloramphenicol, ampicillin, and kanamycin
at concentrations up to 150 μg/ml, but is susceptible to rifampicin. Analysis of the hydrolyzed core lipids by thin-layer
chromatography (TLC) revealed the presence of archaeol and caldarchaeol. The mol% G+C content of the DNA is 55.8. Partial
sequencing of the 16S rDNA indicates that strain RG-20 belongs to the genus Thermococcus. Considering these data and on the basis of the results from DNA-DNA hybridization studies, we propose that this strain should
be classified as a new species named Thermococcus siculi (si′cu.li. L. gen. n. siculi, of the deep-sea [siculum, deep-sea in literature of Ovid], referring to the location of the sample site, a deep-sea hydrothermal vent). The type strain
is isolate RG-20 (DSM No. 12349).
