Abstract
In the pursuit of cultivating anaerobic anoxygenic phototrophs with unusual absorbance spectra, a purple sulfur bacterium was isolated from the shoreline of Baltrum, a North Sea island of Germany. It was designated strain 970, due to a predominant light harvesting complex (LH) absorption maximum at 963–966 nm, which represents the furthest infrared-shift documented for such complexes containing bacteriochlorophyll a. A polyphasic approach to bacterial systematics was performed, comparing genomic, biochemical, and physiological properties. Strain 970 is related to Thiorhodovibrio winogradskyi DSM 6702T by 26.5, 81.9, and 98.0% similarity via dDDH, ANI, and 16S rRNA gene comparisons, respectively. The photosynthetic properties of strain 970 were unlike other Thiorhodovibrio spp., which contained typical LH absorbing characteristics of 800–870 nm, as well as a newly discovered absorption band at 908 nm. Strain 970 also had a different photosynthetic operon composition. Upon genomic comparisons with the original Thiorhodovibrio strains DSM 6702T and strain 06511, the latter was found to be divergent, with 25.3, 79.1, and 97.5% similarity via dDDH, ANI, and 16S rRNA gene homology to Trv. winogradskyi, respectively. Strain 06511 (=DSM 116345T) is thereby described as Thiorhodovibrio litoralis sp. nov., and the unique strain 970 (=DSM 111777T) as Thiorhodovibrio frisius sp. nov.
