Isolation and characterization of <i>Sporomusa carbonis</i> sp. nov.: a carboxydotrophic hydrogenogen in the genus of <i>Sporomusa</i> isolated from a charcoal-burning pile.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-negative bacterial strain, designated ACPt^T, was isolated from the top of the covering soil of an active charcoal-burning pile. The cells of ACPt^T were strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped and grew optimally at 40 °C and pH 7. The substrates ribose, glucose, sucrose, raffinose, melezitose, pyruvate, vanillate, syringate, methanol and CO were utilized for growth. Phylogenomic analysis of the 4.1 Mb genome showed that strain ACPt^T represented a novel species of the genus Sporomusa. The most closely related species to ACPt^T was Sporomusa malonica, with an average amino acid identity of 80.1%. The genome of ACPt^T encoded cytochromes, ubiquinones, the Wood-Ljungdahl gene cluster and an Rnf complex, which were identified as co
