A bacterial isolate, with an optimum growth temperature of about 50 °C and an optimum pH for growth between 7.5 and 8.5, was recovered from a hot spring in the Furnas area of the Island of São Miguel in the Azores. The novel isolate is orange-pigmented, forms non-motile, rod-shaped cells that stain Gram-negative, is strictly aerobic, oxidase-positive and catalase-negative. The major fatty acids of strain TU-20(T) are 16 : 1ω6c, 17 : 0 iso 3-OH and 15 : 0 iso. Menaquinone 6 is the major respiratory quinone. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, physiological and biochemical characteristics, we describe a novel species of a novel genus represented by strain TU-20(T) ( = DSM 21410(T ) = LMG 24594(T)) for which we propose the name Schleiferia thermophila gen nov., sp. nov. We also propose the family Schleiferiaceae fam. nov. to accommodate this new genus.
从亚速尔群岛圣米格尔岛富尔纳斯地区的温泉中分离到一株细菌,其最适生长温度约为 50°C,最适生长 pH 值在 7.5 和 8.5 之间。该新分离株呈橙色,形成非运动、杆状细胞,革兰氏阴性染色,严格需氧,氧化酶阳性,过氧化氢酶阴性。菌株 TU-20(T) 的主要脂肪酸为 16:1ω6c、17:0 iso 3-OH 和 15:0 iso。menaquinone 6 是主要的呼吸醌。基于 16S rRNA 基因序列分析、生理生化特征,我们描述了一株新的属的新型菌株,代表菌株 TU-20(T)(=DSM 21410(T)=LMG 24594(T)),我们建议将其命名为嗜热 Schleiferia gen nov.,sp. nov.。我们还提出了 Schleiferiaceae 科来容纳这个新属。
