A pure culture, designated strain SS015, was recovered from a vent fluid sample from the Bag City site through serial dilution in liquid medium with malate as the electron donor and Fe(III) oxide as the electron acceptor and then isolation of single colonies on solid Fe(III) oxide medium. The cells were gram-negative rods, about 0.5 micro m by 1.2 to 1.5 micro m, and motile and contained c-type cytochromes. Analysis of the 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence of strain SS015 placed it in the family Geobacteraceae in the delta subclass of the Proteobacteria. Unlike previously described members of the Geobacteraceae, which are mesophiles, strain SS015 was a thermophile and grew at temperatures of between 35 and 65 degrees C, with an optimum temperature of 55 degrees C. Like many previously described members of the Geobacteraceae, strain SS015 grew with organic acids as the electron donors and Fe(III) or nitrate as the electron acceptor, with nitrate being reduced to ammonia. Strain SS015 was unique among the Geobacteraceae in its ability to use sugars, starch, or amino acids as electron donors for Fe(III) reduction. Under stress conditions, strain SS015 produced copious quantities of extracellular polysaccharide, providing a model for the microbial production of the polysaccharide accumulation at the Bag City site. The 16S rDNA sequence of strain SS015 was less than 94% similar to the sequences of previously described members of the Geobacteraceae; this fact, coupled with its unique physiological properties, suggests that strain SS015 represents a new genus in the family Geobacteraceae. The name Geothermobacter ehrlichii gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed (ATCC BAA-635 and DSM 15274). Although strains of Geobacteraceae are known to be the predominant Fe(III)-reducing microorganisms in a variety of Fe(III)-reducing environments at moderate temperatures, strain SS015 represents the first described thermophilic member of the Geobacteraceae and thus extends the known environmental range of this family to hydrothermal environments.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12732575?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kashefi, Kazem</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tor, Jason M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holmes, Dawn E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaw Van Praagh, Catherine V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reysenbach, Anna-Louise</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lovley, Derek R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geoglobus ahangari gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel hyperthermophilic archaeon capable of oxidizing organic acids and growing autotrophically on hydrogen with Fe(III) serving as the sole electron acceptor.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Syst Evol Microbiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

Isolation was carried out with a new technique using Fe(III) oxide as the electron acceptor for the recovery of colonies on solid medium. The isolate, designated strain 234T, was strictly anaerobic and exhibited a tumbling motility. The cells had a single flagellum. Strain 234T grew at temperatures between 65 and 90 degrees C, with an optimum at about 88 degrees C. The optimal salt concentration for growth was around 19 g l(-1). The isolate was capable of growth with H2 as the sole electron donor coupled to the reduction of Fe(III) without the need for an organic carbon source. This is the first example of a dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing micro-organism capable of growing autotrophically on hydrogen. In addition to molecular hydrogen, strain 234T oxidizes pyruvate, acetate, malate, succinate, peptone, formate, fumarate, yeast extract, glycerol, isoleucine, arginine, serine, glutamine, asparagine, stearate, palmitate, valerate, butyrate and propionate with the reduction of Fe(III). This isolate is the first example of a hyperthermophile capable of oxidizing long-chain fatty acids anaerobically. Isolate 234T grew exclusively with Fe(III) as the sole electron acceptor. The G+C content was 58.7 mol%. Based on detailed analysis of its 16S rDNA sequence, G+C content, distinguishing physiological features and metabolism, strain 234T is proposed to represent a novel genus within the Archaeoglobales. The name proposed for strain 234T is Geoglobus ahangari gen. nov., sp. nov..</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pt 3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12054231?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
