  abstract = {{T}hree sulfate-reducing bacterial strains designated {SM}40({T}), {SM}41, and {SM}43 were isolated from marine sediment in the region of {S}khira located in the {G}ulf of {G}abes ({T}unisia). {T}hese strains grew in anaerobic media with phosphogypsum as a sulfate source and sodium lactate as an electron and carbon source. {O}ne of them, strain {SM}40({T}), was characterized by phenotypic and phylogenetic methods. {C}ells were ovoid, {G}ram-stain-negative and non-motile. {T}he temperature limits for growth were 10 and 55 degrees {C} with an optimum at 35 degrees {C} and the p{H} range was 6.5-8.1 with an optimum at p{H} 7.5. {G}rowth was observed at salinities ranging from 10 to 80 g {N}a{C}l l(-1) with an optimum at 30 g {N}a{C}l l(-1). {S}train {SM}40({T}) was able to utilize butanol, ethanol, formate, l-glucose, glycerol, lactate, propanol, propionate, and pyruvate as electron donors for the reduction of sulfate, sulfite, or thiosulfate to {H}2{S}. {W}ithout electron acceptors, strain {SM}40({T}) fermented butanol and pyruvate. {T}he {DNA} {G}+{C} content of strain {SM}40({T}) was 52.6 mol %. {P}hylogenetic analysis based on the 16{S} r{RNA} gene sequence of the isolate revealed that strain {SM}40({T}) was closely related to the species in the genus {D}esulfobulbus of the family {D}esulfobulbaceae. {T}he sequence similarity between strain {SM}40 and {D}esulfobulbus marinus was 95.4%. {T}he phylogenetic analysis, {DNA} {G}+{C} content, and differences in substrate utilization suggested that strain {SM}40 represents a new species of the genus {D}esulfobulbus, {D}. aggregans sp. nov. {T}he type strain is strain {SM}40({T}) (={DSM} 28693({T}) = {JCM} 19994({T})).},
