    Abstract:
    One of the numerous and widespread lineages of planctomycetes is the hitherto uncultured SG8-4 group inhabiting anoxic environments. A novel anaerobic, mesophilic, alkalitolerant, chemoorganotrophic bacterium (strain M17dextrT) was isolated from anaerobic sediment of a coastal lake (Taman Peninsula, Russia). The cell were mainly non-motile cocci, 0.3 to 1.0 µm in diameter forming chains or aggregates. The cells had a Gram-negative cell wall and divided by binary fission. The temperature range for growth was 20-37 0C (optimum at 30 0C). The pH range for growth was 6.5-10.0, with an optimum at pH 8.0-8.5. Strain M17dextrT fermented mono-, di- and polysaccharides (starch, xanthan gum, dextran, N-acetylglucosamine), but did not utilized proteinaceous compounds. Major cellular fatty acids were C16:0 and C18:0. The genome of strain M17dextrT had a size of 5.7 Mb with a G + C content of 62.49 %. The genome contained 345 CAZyme genes. The closest cultured phylogenetic relatives of strain M17dextrT were members of the order Sedimentisphaerales, class Phycisphaerae. Among characterized planctomycetes, the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (88.3 %) was observed with Anaerohalosphaera lusitana. According to phylogenomic analysis strain M17dextrT together with many uncultured representatives of Sedimentisphaerales forms a separate family-level lineage. We propose to assign strain M17dextrT to a novel genus and species, Anaerobaca lacustris gen. nov., sp. nov.; the type strain is M17dextrT (=VKM B-3571 T = DSM 113417 T = JCM 39238 T = KCTC 25381 T = UQM 41474 T). This genus is placed in a novel family, Anaerobacaceae fam. nov. within the order Sedimentisphaerales.
