  abstract = {{A} strictly anaerobic, halotolerant and thermotolerant strain, designated {C}5{BEL}({T}), was isolated in north {T}unisia from storage tanks holding waste generated by the recycling of discarded motor oils. {C}ells of strain {C}5{BEL}({T}) were {G}ram-stain-positive, motile by laterally inserted flagella, straight, and spore-forming. {T}heir two major fatty acids were iso-{C}-15:0 and iso-{C}-15:0 dimethyl acetal. {G}rowth was observed at temperatures of 25-55 degrees {C} (optimum, 40 degrees {C}) and at p{H} 6-9 (optimum, p{H} 7.5). {T}he salinity range for growth was 0-100 g l(-1) {N}a{C}l (optimum, 5 g l(-1)). {Y}east extract was required for growth. {S}train {C}5{BEL}({T}) was heterotrophic, able to use glucose, pyruvate, succinate, yeast extract, bio-trypticase and peptone, but unable to grow on {C}asamino acids. {S}ulfate, thiosulfate, sulfite, elemental sulfur, fumarate, nitrate and nitrite were not reduced. {T}he {DNA} {G}+{C} content of strain {C}5{BEL}({T}) was 31.1 mol%. 16{S} r{RNA} gene sequence analysis indicated that strain {C}5{BEL}({T}) was a member of the family {C}lostridiaceae, class {C}lostridia, phylum {F}irmicutes and was most closely related to {S}poranaerobacter acetigenes {L}up33({T}) (={DSM} 13106({T})) (92.4% similarity). {O}n the basis of 16{S} r{RNA} gene sequence comparisons and physiological characteristics, strain {C}5{BEL}({T}) can be classified as a novel species in a new genus, for which the name {A}naerosalibacter bizertensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. {T}he type strain of the type species is {C}5{BEL}({T}) (={DSM} 23801({T})={JCM} 17239({T})).},
