sp. nov., a novel proteolytic, non-sulphur-reducing bacterium isolated from a marine aquaculture solid waste bioreactor.

A new strain, designated F2B, was isolated from an anaerobic digester for treating solid waste from a marine recirculating aquaculture system. The motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming curved rods were 2-7 µm long and 1 µm in diameter. Growth occurred at temperatures ranging from 20 to 40 °C with a maximum rate of growth at 30 °C.
