An iron-oxidizing bacterium, designated strain An22T, which was isolated from a paddy field soil in Anjo, Japan, was described taxonomically. Strain An22Twas motile by a single polar flagellum, curved-rod, Gram-negative bacterium that was able to grow at 12–37 °C (optimally at 25–30 °C) and at pH 5.2–6.8 (pH 5.9–6.1). The strain grew microaerobically and autotrophically by oxidizing ferrous iron, but did not form stalks, a unique structure of iron oxides. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0and C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c. The major respiratory quinones were UQ-10 and UQ-8. The strain possessed ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase indicating an autotrophic nature via the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle. The total DNA G+C content was 61.4 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain An22Twas affiliated with the classBetaproteobacteriaand clustered with iron-oxidizing bacteria,Gallionella ferrugineaJohan (94.8 % similarity) andFerriphaselus amnicolaOYT1T(94.4 %) in the familyGallionellaceae. Based on the low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the phylogenetically closest genera and the combination of unique morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, strain An22Trepresents a novel genus and species within the familyGallionellaceae, for which the nameFerrigenium kumadaigen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is An22T(=JCM 30584T=NBRC 112974T=ATCC TSD-51T).
