Abstract(s)
A bacterium, strain CM3T, which has an optimal growth temperature of
approximately 47 °C and a maximal growth temperature of 55 SC, was isolated
from a hexadecane enrichment culture, obtained from a sample of the
industrial cooking water of a cork-processing plant. 16S rRNA gene sequence
analysis demonstrated that this Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium
is related to species of the genus Pseudomonas. Phosphatidylethanolamine
and phosphatidylglycerol were the major polar lipids of this isolate and the
total fatty acid methyl ester profile revealed predominantly C16:1 and C18:1
at a growth temperature of 25 SC, whereas, at a growth temperature of 50 SC,
C16:0 was the dominant fatty acid. This is the first report of a species of
Pseudomonas sensu stricto that may be considered to be truly thermotolerant.
Isolate CM3T (¯DSM 14292T¯LMG 21284T) represents the type strain of a
novel species of the genus Pseudomonas, named Pseudomonas thermotolerans
sp. nov.
