A novel hydrogenotrophic methanogen, strain HHBT, was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney sample collected from Beebe Vent Field at the Mid-Cayman Spreading Center, Caribbean Sea. The cells were non-motile regular to irregular cocci possessing several flagella. The novel isolate grew at 60–80 °C, pH 5.0–7.4 and with 1–4 % of NaCl (w/v). The isolate utilized H2/CO2as the only substrates for growth and methane production. The results of phylogenetic analyses of both 16S rRNA andmcrAgene sequences and comparative genome analysis indicated that HHBTrepresented a member of the orderMethanococcales, and was closely related to the members of the generaMethanothermococcusandMethanotorris. The most closely related species wereMethanothermococcus okinawensisIH1TandMethanotorris igneusKol 5Tin comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences (each with 93 % identity), andMethanotorris formicicusMc-S-70Tin the case of deduced amino acid sequence similarity ofmcrAgenes (92 % similarity). The ANI and AAI values between HHBTand the members of the generaMethanothermococcusandMethanotorriswere 69–72 % and 66–70 %, respectively. Although many of the morphological and physiological characteristics were quite similar between HHBTand the species of the generaMethanothermococcusandMethanotorris, they were distinguishable by the differences in susceptibility to antibiotics, formate utilization, growth temperature and NaCl ranges. On the basis of these phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic properties, we propose that strain HHBTrepresents a novel species, of a novel genus,Methanofervidicoccus abyssigen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is HHBT(=JCM 32161T=DSM 105918T).
