The cells were Gram-negative, rugose, short rods, approximately 1.0\u2009\u03bcm long and 0.5\u2009\u03bcm wide. Strain MAG-PB1<sup>T<\/sup> grew at 30\u201370\u2009\u00b0C (optimum 60\u2009\u00b0C), 0\u201350\u200ag NaCl l<sup>\u2212\u20091<\/sup> (optimum 15\u201320\u200ag l<sup>\u2212\u20091<\/sup>) and pH\u20095.5\u20138.0 (optimum pH\u20096.0). Generation time under optimal conditions was 2.5\u200ah. Optimal growth occurred under chemolithoautotrophic conditions with H<sub>2<\/sub> as the energy source and CO<sub>2<\/sub> as the carbon source. Fe(III), Mn(IV), arsenate and selenate were used as electron acceptors. Peptone, tryptone, Casamino acids, sucrose, yeast extract, <small>d<\/small>-fructose, \u03b1-<small>d<\/small>-glucose and (\u2009\u2212\u2009)-<small>d<\/small>-arabinose also served as electron donors. No growth occurred in the presence of lactate or formate. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 66.7\u200amol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that this organism is closely related to <em>Deferrisoma camini<\/em>, the first species of a recently described genus in the <em>Deltaproteobacteria<\/em>. Based on the 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis and on physiological, biochemical and structural characteristics, the strain was found to represent a novel species, for which the name <em>Deferrisoma palaeochoriense<\/em> sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MAG-PB1<sup>T<\/sup> (\u2009=\u2009JCM 30394<sup>T<\/sup>\u2009=\u2009DSM 29363<sup>T<\/sup>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","tags":[],"publication_type":[19],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/7777"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7777"},{"taxonomy":"publication_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_type?post=7777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
