  abstract = {{A} novel anaerobic, alkaliphilic, {G}ram-stain-positive, spore-forming bacterium was isolated from a carbonaceous hydrothermal chimney in {P}rony {B}ay, {N}ew {C}aledonia. {T}his bacterium, designated strain 3b({T}), grew at temperatures from 30 to 43 degrees {C} (optimum 37 degrees {C}) and at p{H} between 7.8 and 10.1 (optimum 9.5). {A}dded {N}a{C}l was not required for growth (optimum 0-0.2 %, w/v), but was tolerated at up to 4 %. {Y}east extract was required for growth. {S}train 3b({T}) utilized crotonate, lactate and pyruvate, but not sugars. {C}rotonate was dismutated to acetate and butyrate. {L}actate was disproportionated to acetate and propionate. {P}yruvate was degraded to acetate plus trace amounts of hydrogen. {G}rowth on lactate was improved by the addition of fumarate, which was used as an electron acceptor and converted to succinate. {S}ulfate, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, sulfite, nitrate, nitrite, {F}e{C}l3, {F}e({III})-citrate, {F}e({III})-{EDTA}, chromate, arsenate, selenate and {DMSO} were not used as terminal electron acceptors. {T}he {G}+{C} content of the genomic {DNA} was 33.2 mol%. {P}hylogenetic analysis based on the 16{S} r{RNA} gene sequence indicated that the isolate is a member of the family {C}lostridiaceae, order {C}lostridiales within the phylum {F}irmicutes. {S}train 3b({T}) was most closely related to '{A}lkaliphilus hydrothermalis' {F}at{MR}1({T}) (92.2% 16{S} r{RNA} gene sequence similarity), and was positioned approximately equidistantly between the genera {A}lkaliphilus, {A}naerovirgula and {N}atronincola. {O}n the basis of phylogenetic, genetic, chemotaxonomic and physiological properties, strain 3b({T}) is proposed to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name {S}erpentinicella alkaliphila gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. {T}he type strain of {S}erpentinicella alkaliphila is 3b({T}) (={DSM} 100013({T}) ={JCM} 30645({T})).},
