Petrotoga japonica sp. nov., a thermophilic, fermentative bacterium isolated from Yabase Oilfield in Japan
2014
Overview
A gram-negative, motile, fermentative, thermophilic bacterium, designated AR80ᵀ, was isolated from a high-temperature oil reservoir in Yabase Oilfield in Akita, Japan. Cells were rod-shaped, motile by means of polar flagella, and formed circular, convex, white colonies. The strain grew at 40–65 °C (optimum 60 °C), 0.5–9 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0.5–1 %), pH 6–9 (optimum pH 7.5), and elemental sulfur or thiosulfate serves as terminal electron acceptor. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain AR80ᵀbelonged to the genus Petrotoga and shared approximately 94.5 % sequence similarity with the type species of this genus. The G + C content of genomic DNA was 32.4 mol% while the value of DNA–DNA hybridization between the closest relative species Petrotoga miotherma and AR80ᵀwas 58.1 %. The major cellular fatty acids of strain AR80ᵀconsisted of 18:1 w9c, 16:0, and 16:1 w9c. Based on genetic and phenotypic properties, strain AR80ᵀwas different with other identified Petrotoga species and represents as a novel species, for which the name Petrotoga japonica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AR80ᵀ(=NBRC 108752ᵀ = KCTC 15103ᵀ = HUT 8122ᵀ).
