AI Article Synopsis
- A comparative study of genome and physiology was conducted on type strains of species in subgroup 1a, focusing on strain MI-1.
- * Strain MI-1 is unique within this subgroup due to its ability to grow on propionate and butyrate and its potential to use metals as electron acceptors, unlike other species.
- * Phylogenetic analysis indicates that strain MI-1 is a novel species within subgroup 1a, designated as sp. nov., based on its genetic distinctiveness.
Article Abstract
A genome and physiological comparison was made of the type strains of species belonging to subgroup 1a and of '' strain MI-1. Phenotypically, '' strain MI-1 can be distinguished from the other described species of subgroup 1a by its ability to grow with propionate and butyrate. In addition, the strain is able to use a variety of metals as electron acceptors. Metal reduction has not been tested in the other species, but seems likely based on our genome analysis. Phylogenetic 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and the average nucleotide identity between the genomes of the species of subgroup 1a show that strain MI-1 represents a novel species within the 1a subgroup, sp. nov. The type strain is MI-1.
