A novel type of a sulfate-reducing microorganism, represented by strain Na82(T), was isolated from a hot spring in Narugo, Japan. The isolate was a moderate thermophilic autotroph that was able to grow on H-2/CO2 by sulfate respiration. The isolate could grow with nitrate in place of sulfate, and possessed menaquinone-7 and menaquinone-7(H-2) as respiratory quinones. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain Na82(T) was a member of the domain Bacteria and distant from any known bacteria, as well as from other sulfate-reducing bacteria (sequence similarities less than 80%). The phylogenetic analysis of the dsrAB gene (alpha and beta subunits of dissimilatory sulfite reductase) sequence also suggested that strain Na82(T) was not closely related to other sulfate reducers. On the basis of the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, a new taxon is established for the isolate. We proposed the name Thermodesulfobium narugense gen. nov., sp. nov. with strain Na82(T) (=DSM 14796(T)=JCM 11510(T)) as the type strain. Furthermore, a new family, Thermodesulfobiaceae fam. nov., is proposed for the genus.
