A novel thermophilic chemotrophic bacterium, strain SS56T, was isolated from Nakabusa Hot Spring, Japan. The isolate was a rod-shaped (1.5–2.1×0.6–0.8 µm), Gram-stain-negative bacterium. The cells of this strain grew chemoheterotrophically under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Autotrophic growth was observed with thiosulphate and elemental sulphur under aerobic conditions but not with H2as the electron donor. Heterotrophic growth in the presence of O2occurred on yeast extract, tryptone, polypeptone and organic acids. Strain SS56Tused nitrite as an alternative electron acceptor under anaerobic chemoheterotrophic conditions. The isolate grew between 35 and 65 °C, with the optimum at 55 °C. The pH range for growth was pH 6.0–9.0; optimal growth occurred at pH 7.0–8.0. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SS56Twas 98.9% identical to that ofHydrogenophilus thermoluteolusTH-1T. The draft genome sequence of 2401804 bp for strain SS56Tgave values of 53.7% for digital DNA–DNA hybridization, 92.9% for average nucleotide identity and 93.6% for average amino acid identity compared with the genome sequence of 2223143 bp forH. thermoluteolusTH-1T. Based on the information described above, strain SS56T(=DSM 111892T=JCM 34254T) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species,Hydrogenophilus thiooxidanssp. nov.
