Two anaerobic, thermophilic, Gram-positive, non-spore forming bacteria with an array or polysaccharide-degrading enzymes were isolated from the leachate of a waste pile from a canning factory in Hoopeston, East Central Illinois, USA. The results of 165 rDNA sequence homology indicated that their closest relatives belong to the saccharolytic, thermophilic and anaerobic genera of Thermoanaerobacterium and Thermoanaerobacter. Although, the evolutionary distances between these bacteria and their closest relatives are greater than 11%, there is no defining phenotypic characteristic for the creation of a new genus. It is proposed that these bacteria should be placed in the genus Thermoanaerobacterium, which requires emendment of the genus description with regard to the reduction of thiosulfate to sulfur, because neither isolate is capable of this reduction. Thermoanaerobacterium polysaccharolyticum reduces thiosulfate to sulfide, whereas Thermoanaerobacterium zeae is unable to reduce thiosulfate. The cells of both isolates are rod-shaped and exist as single cells or sometimes in pairs. Cells are motile by means of flagella. Growth occurs between 45 and 72 degreesC, with optimum temperature of 65-68 degreesC at ph 6.8. The ph range for growth is from 4 to 8 at a temperature of 65 degreesC. Both organisms ferment glucose, arabinose, maltose, mannose, rhamnose, sucrose, trehalose, xylose, cellobiose, raffinose, melibiose and melezitose. The major end products of fermentation with glucose are ethanol and CO,, with lesser amounts of acetate, formate, lactate and hydrogen. The DNA G+C contents of Thermoanaerobacterium polysaccharolyticum sp, nov. and Thermoanaerobacterium zeae sp. nov. are 46 and 42 mol%, respectively. The type strains are KMIHCJ(T)(= ATCC BAA-17(T) = DSM 13641(T)) and mel2(T)(= ATCC BAA-16(T) = DSM 13642(T)), respectively.
