A nitrate-reducing Fe(II)-oxidizing bacterial strain, F8825T,
was isolated from the Fe(II)-rich sediment of an urban creek
in Pearl River Delta, China. The strain was Gram-negative,
facultative chemolithotrophic, facultative anaerobic, nonspore-
forming, and rod-shaped with a single flagellum. Phylogenetic
analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated
that it belongs to the genus Ciceribacter and is most
closely related to C. lividus MSSRFBL1T (99.4%), followed
by C. thiooxidans F43bT (98.8%) and C. azotifigens A.slu09T
(98.0%). Fatty acid, polar lipid, respiratory quinone, and
DNA G + C content analyses supported its classification in
the genus Ciceribacter. Multilocus sequence analysis of concatenated
16S rRNA, atpD, glnII, gyrB, recA, and thrC suggested
that the isolate was a novel species. DNA–DNA hybridization
and genome sequence comparisons (90.88 and
89.86%, for values of ANIm and ANIb between strains F8825T
with MSSRFBL1T, respectively) confirmed that strain F8825T
was a novel species, different from C. lividus MSSRFBL1T,
C. thiooxidans F43bT, and C. azotifigens A.slu09T. The physiological
and biochemical properties of the strain, such as
carbon source utilization, nitrate reduction, and ferrous ion
oxidation, further supported that this is a novel species. Based
on the polyphasic taxonomic results, strain F8825T was identified
as a novel species in the genus Ciceribacter, for which
the name Ciceribacter ferrooxidans sp. nov. is proposed.
The type strain is F8825T (= CCTCC AB 2018196T = KCTC
62948T).
