  abstract = {{A} novel slightly halophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium, designated strain {P}1{BSR}({T}), was isolated from water of a saline lake in {T}unisia. {S}train {P}1{BSR}({T}) had motile (single polar flagellum), {G}ram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming cells, occurring singly or in pairs. {S}train {P}1{BSR}({T}) grew at temperatures between 15 and 45 degrees {C} (optimum 40 degrees {C}), and in a p{H} range between 6 and 8.5 (optimum p{H} 6.7). {T}he strain required {N}a{C}l for growth (1 % w/v), and tolerated high {N}a{C}l concentration (up to 12 % w/v) with an optimum of 3 % (w/v). {S}ulfate, thiosulfate and sulfite served as terminal electron acceptors, but not elemental sulfur, fumarate, nitrate and nitrite. {S}train {P}1{BSR}({T}) utilized lactate, pyruvate, formate, {D}-fructose and glycerol as carbon and energy sources. {T}he main cellular fatty acid was {C}-16:0 (50.8 %). {T}he genomic {DNA} {G}+{C} content was 47.7 mol%. {P}hylogenetic analysis of 16{S} r{RNA} gene sequence similarity indicated that strain {P}1{BSR}({T}) was affiliated to the genus {D}esulfovibrio, with the type strains {D}esulfovibrio salexigens (96.51 %), {D}esulfovibrio zosterae (95.68 %), {D}esulfovibrio hydrothermalis (94.81 %) and {D}esulfovibrio ferrireducens (94.73 %) as its closest phylogenetic relatives. {O}n the basis of genotypic, phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, it is proposed to assign strain {P}1{BSR}({T}) to a novel species of the genus {D}esulfovibrio, {D}esulfovibrio salinus sp. nov. {T}he type strain is {P}1{BSR}({T}) (={DSM} 101510({T})={JCM} 31065({T})).},
