%X Strain LTF Kr01(T), a novel mesophilic, anaerobic, halotolerant, rod-shaped bacterium, was isolated from a drain at the bottom of a corroded kerosene storage tank of the Societe Tunisienne des Industries de Raffinage (STIR), Bizerte, northern Tunisia. Cells were Gram-positive-staining rods, occurred singly or in pairs, and were motile by one lateral flagellum. Strain LTF Kr01(T) grew at temperatures between 15 and 40 degrees C (optimum 30 degrees C), between pH 5.5 and 8.2 (optimum pH 7.2) and at NaCl concentrations between 0 and 50 g l(-1) (optimum 5 g l(-1)). It reduced thiosulfate and elemental sulfur into sulfide, but did not reduce sulfate or sulfite. It utilized a wide range of carbohydrates (cellobiose, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannitol, D-ribose, sucrose, D-xylose, maltose, D-galactose, starch and trehalose) and produced acetate, CO2 and H-2 as end products from glucose fermentation. The DNA G+C content was 37.4 mol%. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C-14:0 and C-16:0. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence suggested that Fusibacter tunisiensis was the closest relative of strain LTF Kr01(T) (gene sequence similarity of 94.6%). Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic taxonomic characteristics, strain LTF Kr01(T) is proposed to represent a novel species of the genus Fusibacter, order Clostridiales, for which the name Fusibacter bizertensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LTF Kr01(T) (=DSM 28034(T)=JCM 19376(T)).
