Desulfosporosinus shakirovi sp. nov., a Sulfate-Reducing Bacterium Capable of Degrading Petroleum Hydrocarbons
摘要
A new sulfate-reducing strain SRJS8T with a high ability to biodegrade petroleum hydrocarbons was isolated from the bottom sediments in the northern part of the Sea of Japan. The cells were gram-positive, spore-forming, singlemotile rods 0.4–0.5 × 2.0–5.0 µm in size. Strain SRJS8T grew at the temperature range from 6 to 30°C (optimum, 25°C), pH 6.3–7.7 (optimum, 7.3), and NaCl concentrations ranging from 0 to 20 g/L (optimum, 2 g/L). Strain SRJS8T utilized butanol, glycerol, methanol, ethanol, butyrate, lactate, pyruvate, formate, yeast extract, H2/CO2, and crude oil as electron donors and carbon sources in the presence of sulfate. SRJS8T utilized sulfate, sulfite, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, fumarate, and Fe(III) as electron acceptors in the presence of lactate. The closest relative of the SRJS8T was Desulfosporosinus lacus STP12T (similarity, 98.49%). The complete genome of the strain SRJS8T (5.43 Mb) was sequenced. DNA–DNA homology of strain SRJS8T and D. lacus was 57.4%, and the ANI value was 93.69%. The genomic DNA G+C content was 42.08%. In accordance with the obtained data, SRJS8T was assigned to a novel species within the genus Desulfosporosinus, for which the name Desulfosporosinus shakirovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SRJS8T (=VKM B-3489T, =JCM 39 189T).
