A novel mesophilic member of the Thermotogales, strain MesG1.Ag.4.2, was isolated from sediments from Baltimore Harbor, MD, USA. The strain grew optimally at 37 A degrees C with a doubling time of 16.5 h on xylose. Carbohydrates and proteinaceous compounds supported growth and pentoses were preferred over hexoses. The strain was strictly anaerobic and growth was slightly stimulated by thiosulfate, sulfite, and elemental sulfur. The G + C content of its genomic DNA was 45.3 mol%. Strain MesG1.Ag.4.2 and lipids were analyzed. Strain MesG1.Ag.4.2 contained no long-chain dicarboxylic acids and its major phospholipid was lyso-phosphatidylserine. Long-chain dicarboxylic acids were found in and its major phospholipid was cardiolipin, a lipid not yet reported in Thermotogales species. Phylogenetic analyses of its two 16S rRNA genes placed strain MesG1.Ag.4.2 within the bacterial order Thermotogales. Based on the phylogenetic analyses and its low optimal growth temperature, it is proposed that the strain represents a novel species of a new genus within the family Thermotogaceae, order Thermotogales. The name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is MesG1.Ag.4.2 (= DSM 24739 = ATCC BAA-2239).
