Indigo-reducing bacteria perform natural fermentation in indigo fermentation fluid. Owing to the stochastic nature of the process, the constituent in indigo fermentation fluid differ depending on the prepared batch and fermentation period. To identify new indigo-reducing bacteria, isolation of the bacteria is indispensable. However, isolation of indigo-reducing bacteria is difficult because conventional media are often unsuitable to isolate these slow-growing bacteria that also exist in low numbers. Hydrolysates of polysaccharides and mixtures of plant base constituents are candidates to accelerate the isolation of indigo-reducing bacteria that cannot be isolated using conventional media. In this current study, wheat bran hydrolysate and composted indigo leaves (sukumo) were used as ingredients in the fermentation fluid in the selective medium for indigo-reducing bacteria in anaerobic culture. The results suggested that obligate and oxygen-non-metabolizing facultative anaerobes are difficult to isolate using conventional media, whereas oxygen-metabolizing facultative anaerobes, relatively rapid-growing and major bacterial strains are relatively easy to isolate. Media containingsukumohydrolysate facilitated the isolation of novel species ofBacillus pseudofirmus-related strains, whereas media containing wheat bran hydrolysate facilitated the isolation ofAmphibacillusspp. (including new species). Seven species (including two new species) of indigo-reducing bacteria were isolated using wheat bran hydrolysate-containing media, whereas six species (including three new species) of indigo-reducing bacteria were isolated using media containing both wheat bran andsukumohydrolysates. These newly developed culture media will facilitate the isolation of unknown bacteria in indigo fermentation and in environments similar to indigo fermentation fluid.
