  abstract = {{A} strictly anaerobic, gram-positive, sporulating rod (0.5-0.6 x 2.0-4.0 microm), designated strain {L}up 21{T}, was isolated from an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket ({UASB}) reactor treating cheese-factory wastewater. {S}train {L}up 21{T} was motile by means of peritrichous flagella, had a {G}+{C} content of 31.4 mol% and grew optimally at 37 degrees {C}, p{H} 7.4, in the absence of {N}a{C}l. {I}t is a heterotrophic micro-organism, utilizing proteinaceous compounds (gelatin, peptides, {C}asamino acids and various single amino acids) but unable to use any of the carbohydrates tested as a carbon and energy source. {I}t reduced thiosulfate and elemental sulfur to sulfide in the presence of {C}asamino acids as carbon and energy sources. {A}cetate, butyrate, isobutyrate, isovalerate, {CO}2 and sulfide were end products from oxidation of gelatin and {C}asamino acids in the presence of thiosulfate as an electron acceptor. {I}n the absence of thiosulfate, serine, lysine, methionine and histidine were fermented. {O}n the basis of 16{S} r{RNA} similarity, strain {L}up 21{T} was related to members of the low-{G}+{C} {C}lostridiales group, {C}lostridium subterminale {DSM} 6970{T} being the closest relative (with a sequence similarity of 99.4%). {DNA}-{DNA} hybridization was 56% with this species. {O}n the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, the isolate was designated as a novel species of the genus {C}lostridium, {C}lostridium thiosulfatireducens sp. nov. {T}he type strain is strain {L}up 21{T} (= {DSM} 13105{T} = {CIP} 106908{T}).},
