Three thermophilic, anaerobic, strictly chemolithoautotrophic, sulphur- and/or thiosulphate-reducing bacteria, designated SL17(T), SL19(T) and SL22(T), were isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal samples collected at 13 degrees N (East Pacific Rise), Guaymas Basin (Gulf of California) and 23 degrees N (Mid-Atlantic Ridge), respectively. These strains differed in their morphology, temperature range and optimum for growth, energy substrates and 16S rRNA gene sequences. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 41 mol% (SL22(T)), 42 mol% (SL17(T)) and 46 mol% (SL19(T)). Comparative analysis of phenotypic and phylogenetic traits indicated that strains SL17(T) and SL22(T) represented two novel species of the genus Desulfurobacterium and that strain SL19(T) should... |
