In the course of ecological studies in Berre Lagoon, a mediterranean brackish coastal lagoon (Marseille, France), a new slightly halophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium was isolated from anoxic sediments enriched with lactate plus sulfate, and cysteine-HCL as reductant. Because of its morphology and the incomplete oxidation of organic substrates, the isolated strain 8601 was assigned to the genus Desulfovibrio, resembling Desulfovibrio gigas. However, it differed from this species in some morphological and physiological characteristics : only one polar flagellum the utilization of methanol, isopropanol, glycerol and cysteine as energy source. Therefore a new species Desulfovibrio giganteus is described. (Résumé d'auteur)
