Desulfamplus magnetovallimortis gen. nov., sp nov., a magnetotactic bacterium from a brackish desert spring able to biomineralize greigite and magnetite, that represents a novel lineage in the Desulfobacteraceae

Résumé

A magnetotactic bacterium, designated strain BW-1(T), was isolated from a brackish spring in Death Valley National Park (California, USA) and cultivated in axenic culture. The Gram-negative cells of strain BW-1(T) are relatively large and rod-shaped and possess a single polar flagellum (monotrichous). This strain is the first magnetotactic bacterium isolated in axenic culture capable of producing greigite and/or magnetite nanocrystals aligned in one or more chains per cell. Strain BW-1(T) is an obligate anaerobe that grows chemoorganoheterotrophically while reducing sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor. Optimal growth occurred at pH 7.0 and 28 degrees C with fumarate as electron donor and carbon source. Based on its genome sequence, the G + C content is 40.72 mol %. Phylogenomic and phylogenetic analyses indicate that strain BW-1(T) belongs to the Desulfobacteraceae family within the Deltaproteobacteria class. Based on average amino acid identity, strain BW-1(T) can be considered as a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Desulfamplus magnetovallimortis is proposed. The type strain of D. magnetovallimortis is BW-1(T) (JCM 18010(T)-DSM 103535(T)). (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
