Alicyclobacillus pomorum sp. nov., a novel thermo-acidophilic, endospore-forming bacterium that does not possess ω-alicyclic fatty acids, and emended description of the genus Alicyclobacillus

Abstract

Alicyclobacillus pomorum sp. nov., a novel thermo-acidophilic, endospore-forming bacterium that does not possess v-alicyclic fatty acids, and emended description of the genus Alicyclobacillus Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, University of Tokyo, 1-1, Yayoi 1-chome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0032, JapanA thermo-acidophilic endospore-forming bacterium was isolated from a mixed fruit juice. The organism, strain 3A T , was rod-shaped, grew aerobically at 30-60 6C (optimum 45-50 6C),

Alicyclobacillus aeris sp. nov., a novel ferrous- and sulfur-oxidizing bacterium isolated from a copper mine

“…Strain ZJ-6 T was mesophilic and grew at 25-35 u C with optimal growth at 30 u C, thus differing from the known thermophilic species of the genus Alicyclobacillus, which grow optimally at 42-60 u C and do not grow below 25 u C (Wisotzkey et al, 1992;Goto et al, 2003) (Table 1). Strain ZJ-6 T grew at pH 2.0-6.0, with optimal growth at pH 3.5.…”

“…However, the description of the genus was subsequently amended to include organisms that possess straight-and branched-chain fatty acids due to the discovery of some species that do not possess v-alicyclic fatty acids, e.g. Alicyclobacillus pomorum (Goto et al, 2003), Alicyclobacillus macrosporangiidus and Alicyclobacillus contaminans (Goto et al, 2007), Alicyclobacillus pohliae (Imperio et al, 2008) and Alicyclobacillus ferrooxydans (Jiang et al, 2008). At the time of writing (June 2008), the genus Alicyclobacillus was composed of 21 species with validly published names, two subspecies and two genomic species ( Fig.…”

Biosynthesis of industrial enzymes by free and immobilized Alicyclobacillus in different matrices and the use of ultrafiltration in the enzymes concentration

“…They are highly thermally resistance to pasteurization processes, and are considered contaminants of thermoprocessed food products. 1 Enzymes produced by such microorganisms have been studied for use in various industrial applications, including galactosidase, esterases, proteases and amylases, due to their thermostable characteristics. [2][3][4][5] The Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius and Alicyclobacillus sendaiensis species have been evaluated for the production of both amylase and collagenase, respectively.…”

Tumebacillus permanentifrigoris gen. nov., sp. nov., an aerobic, spore-forming bacterium isolated from Canadian high Arctic permafrost

“…2). The majority of species in the genus Alicyclobacillus are characterized by acidophilic, moderately thermophilic growth and a lipid composition dominated by cyclic fatty acids, with the exception of a small number of species (see footnote to Table 1) that contain predominantly branched-chain fatty acids (Goto et al, 2003. Strain Eur1 9.5 T was clearly distinguished from members of the genus Alicyclobacillus based on its relatively neutral pH range for growth, inability to grow at temperatures above 37 u C and predominance of the fatty acid iso-C 15 : 0 in the lipid profile.…”

Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics of genera related to strain Eur1 9.5 T Data for related genera were taken from Goto et al (2003) and Karavaiko et al (2005) (Alicyclobacillus), Heyndrickx et al (1996) and Shida et al (1997) (Paenibacillus) and An et al (2007) and Heyrman et al (2003) (Virgibacillus). 2, Negative for growth; V, variable; ND, no data available; meso-DAP, meso-diaminopimelic acid.…”
