  abstract = {{A} novel sulfate-reducing bacterium, designated {C}1{TLV}30({T}), was isolated from wood falls at a depth of 1693 m in the {M}editerranean {S}ea. {C}ells were motile vibrios (2-4x0.5 mu m). {S}train {C}1{TLV}30({T}) grew at temperatures between 15 and 45 degrees {C} (optimum 30 degrees {C}) and at p{H} 5.4-8.6 (optimum 7.3). {I}t required {N}a{C}l for growth (optimum at 25 g {N}a{C}l l(-1)) and tolerated up to 80 g {N}a{C}l l(-1). {S}train {C}1{TLV}30({T}) used as energy sources: lactate, fumarate, formate, malate, pyruvate and ethanol. {T}he end products from lactate oxidation were acetate, {H}(2){S} and {CO}(2) in the presence of sulfate as terminal electron acceptor. {B}esides sulfate, thiosulfate and sulfite were also used as terminal electron acceptors, but not elemental sulfur, fumarate, nitrate or nitrite. {S}train {C}1{TLV}30({T}) possessed desulfoviridin and was piezophilic, growing optimally at 10 {MP}a (range 0-30 {MP}a). {T}he membrane lipid composition of this strain was examined to reveal an increase in fatty acid chain lengths at high hydrostatic pressures. {T}he {G}+{C} content of the genomic {DNA} was 49.6% and the genome size was estimated at 3.5 +/- 0.5 {M}b. {P}hylogenetic analysis of the {SSU} r{RNA} gene sequence indicated that strain {C}1{TLV}30({T}) was affiliated to the genus {D}esulfovibrio with {D}esulfovibrio pro fundus being its closest phylogenetic relative (similarity of 96.4%). {O}n the basis of {SSU} r{RNA} gene sequence comparisons and physiological characteristics, strain {C}1{TLV}30({T}) (={DSM} 21447({T}) ={JCM} 1548({T})) is proposed to be assigned to a novel species of the genus {D}esulfovibrio, {D}esulfovibrio piezophilus sp. nov.},
