A novel moderately thermophilic, heterotrophic bacterium was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent deposit from the Mariner field along the Eastern Lau Spreading Center of the south-western Pacific Ocean. Cells were short motile rods (about 0.4×0.8 µm) that occurred singly or in pairs and were surrounded by a sheath-like membrane or ‘toga’. The cells grew between 45 and 65 °C (optimum 57–60 °C) and at pH 4.1–6.0 (optimum pH 5.5–5.7) and grew optimally at 3?% (w/v) NaCl. The isolate grew on a range of carbon and proteinaceous substrates and reduced sulfur. The G+C content of the DNA was about 45 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed the new isolate as a deeply diverging lineage within the order Thermotogales. Based on the physiological, morphological and phylogenetic data, the isolate represents a novel species of a new genus with the proposed name Mesoaciditoga lauensis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Mesoaciditoga lauensis is cd-1655RT (?=?DSM 25116T?=?OCM 1212T).
