Two novel marine hydrogen- and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, designated HSL1-7 and HSL3-1, were isolated from mangrove sediments from Fujian Province, China. Strain HSL1-7 exhibited Gram-negative, rod-shaped to slightly curved morphology with polar flagellum-driven motility, whereas strain HSL3-1 was Gram-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile. Strain HSL1-7 and HSL3-1 were obligate chemolithoautotrophs, capable of using molecular hydrogen and thiosulfate as an energy source, and molecular oxygen and elemental sulfur as the electron acceptors for growth. Cellular fatty acid profiles revealed similar predominant components (C, C, C, and C) in both strains. Strains HSL1-7 and HSL3-1 were strongly diazotrophic, as demonstrated by N fixation when a fixed nitrogen source was absent from the growth medium. The DNA G+C contents of strains HSL1-7 and HSL3-1 were determined to be 36.1% and 57.3%, respectively. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, strains HSL1-7 and HSL3-1 exhibited the highest sequence similarities with B2 (98.5% and 94.45%, respectively). Notably, the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains HSL1-7 and HSL3-1 was 93.19%, indicating that they represent distinct species within the genus . Comparative genomic analyses revealed the presence of diverse metabolic profiles in strains HSL1-7 and HSL3-1, including carbon fixation, hydrogen oxidation, sulfur oxidation, and nitrogen fixation. The combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic evidence, including average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization values, shows that strains HSL1-7 and HSL3-1 represent two novel species of the genus for which the names sp. nov. and sp. nov. are proposed, with the type strains HSL1-7 (=MCCC 1A18899 = KCTC 25640) and HSL3-1 (=MCCC 1A18844), respectively.
从中国福建省红树林沉积物中分离出两株新型海洋氢和硫氧化细菌,分别命名为HSL1-7和HSL3-1。菌株HSL1-7呈革兰氏阴性,杆状至微弯,具极鞭毛驱动的运动性,而菌株HSL3-1为革兰氏阴性,杆状且无运动性。菌株HSL1-7和HSL3-1是专性化能自养菌,能够利用分子氢和硫代硫酸盐作为能源,利用分子氧和元素硫作为生长的电子受体。细胞脂肪酸谱显示两株菌中主要成分相似(C、C、C和C)。菌株HSL1-7和HSL3-1具有很强的固氮能力,当生长培养基中缺乏固定氮源时,可通过固氮作用得以证明。菌株HSL1-7和HSL3-1的DNA G+C含量分别测定为36.1%和57.3%。基于16S rRNA基因序列,菌株HSL1-7和HSL3-1分别与B2表现出最高的序列相似性(分别为98.5%和94.45%)。值得注意的是,菌株HSL1-7和HSL3-1之间的16S rRNA基因序列相似性为93.19%,表明它们代表该属内不同的物种。比较基因组分析揭示了菌株HSL1-7和HSL3-1中存在多种代谢谱,包括碳固定、氢氧化、硫氧化和固氮。综合表型、化学分类和系统发育证据,包括平均核苷酸同一性和电子计算机DNA-DNA杂交值,表明菌株HSL1-7和HSL3-1代表该属的两个新物种,分别提出新种名sp. nov.和sp. nov.,模式菌株分别为HSL1-7(=MCCC 1A18899 = KCTC 25640)和HSL3-1(=MCCC 1A18844)。
