Abstract

A mixotrophic and acidophilic bacterial strain BGR 140T was isolated from mine tailings in the Harz Mountains near Goslar, Germany. Cells of BGR 140T were Gram-stain-positive, endospore-forming, motile and rod-shaped. BGR 140T grew aerobically at 25–55 °C (optimum 45 °C) and at pH 1.5–5.0 (optimum pH 3.0). The results of analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indi-cated that BGR 140T was phylogenetically related to different members of the genus Sulfobacillus, and the sequence identities to Sulfobacillus acidophilus DSM 10332T, Sulfobacillus thermotolerans DSM 17362T, and Sulfobacillus benefaciens DSM 19468T were 94.8, 91.8 and 91.6%, respectively. Its cell wall peptidoglycan is A1γ, composed of meso-diaminopimelic acid. The res-piratory quinone is DMK-6. The major polar lipids were determined to be glycolipid, phospholipid and phosphatidylglycerol. The predominant fatty acid is 11-cycloheptanoyl-undecanoate. The genomic DNA G+C content is 58.2 mol%. On the basis of the results of phenotypic and genomic analyses, it is concluded that strain BGR 140T represents a novel species of the genus Sulfobacillus, for which the name Sulfobacillus harzensis sp. nov. is proposed because of its origin. Its type strain is BGR 140T (=DSM 109850T=JCM 39070T).
