	abstract = {A Gram-negative, non-motile, filamentous, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain F2(T)) was isolated from the surface of an electricity-harvesting electrode incubated in marine sediments. Strain F2(T) does not contain c-type cytochromes, flexirubin or carotenoids. It is a facultative anaerobe that can ferment sugars by using a mixed acid fermentation pathway and it can grow over a wide range of temperatures (4-42 degrees C). The DNA G+C (44.9 mol\%) content and chemotaxonomic characteristics (major fatty acids, a-15 : 0 and 15 : 0) were consistent with those of species within the phylum Bacteroidetes. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA nucleotide and elongation factor G amino acid sequences indicated that strain F2(T) represents a unique phylogenetic cluster within the phylum Bacteroidetes. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny, the closest relative available in pure culture, Alkaliflexus imshenetskii, is only 87.5 \% similar to strain F2(T). Results from physiological, biochemical and phylogenetic analyses showed that strain F2(T) should be classified as a novel genus and species within the phylum Bacteroidetes, for which the name Prolixibacter bellariivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is F2(T) (=ATCC BAA-1284(T)=JCM 13498(T)).},

	abstract = {Reclassification of the species Trichlorobacter thiogenes as Geobacter thiogenes comb. nov. is proposed on the basis of physiological traits and phylogenetic position. Characteristics additional to those provided in the original description revealed that the type strain (strain K1(T)=ATCC BAA-34(T)=JCM 14045(T)) has the ability to use Fe(III) as an electron acceptor for acetate oxidation and has an electron donor and acceptor profile typical of a Geobacter species, contains abundant c-type cytochromes, and has a temperature optimum of 30 degrees C and a pH optimum near pH 7.0; traits typical of members of the genus Geobacter. Phylogenetic analysis of nifD, recA, gyrB, rpoB, fusA and 16S rRNA genes further indicated that T. thiogenes falls within the Geobacter cluster of the family Geobacteraceae. Based on extensive phylogenetic evidence and the fact that T. thiogenes has the hallmark physiological characteristics of a Geobacter species, Trichlorobacter thiogenes should be reclassified as a member of the genus Geobacter.},

	abstract = {Fe(III)-reducing isolates were recovered from two aquifers in which Fe(III) reduction is known to be important. Strain Bem(T) was enriched from subsurface sediments collected in Bemidji, MN, USA, near a site where Fe(III) reduction is important in aromatic hydrocarbon degradation. Strains P11, P35(T) and P39 were isolated from the groundwater of an aquifer in Plymouth, MA, USA, in which Fe(III) reduction is important because of long-term inputs of acetate as a highway de-icing agent to the subsurface. All four isolates were Gram-negative, slightly curved rods that grew best in freshwater media. Strains P11, P35(T) and P39 exhibited motility via means of monotrichous flagella. Analysis of the 16S rRNA and nifD genes indicated that all four strains are delta-proteobacteria and members of the Geobacter cluster of the Geobacteraceae. Differences in phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics indicated that the four isolates represent two novel species within the genus Geobacter. All of the isolates coupled the oxidation of acetate to the reduction of Fe(III) [iron(III) citrate, amorphous iron(III) oxide, iron(III) pyrophosphate and iron(III) nitrilotriacetate]. All four strains utilized ethanol, lactate, malate, pyruvate and succinate as electron donors and malate and fumarate as electron acceptors. Strain Bem(T) grew fastest at 30 degrees C, whereas strains P11, P35(T) and P39 grew equally well at 17, 22 and 30 degrees C. In addition, strains P11, P35(T) and P39 were capable of growth at 4 degrees C. The names Geobacter bemidjiensis sp. nov. (type strain Bem(T)=ATCC BAA-1014(T)=DSM 16622(T)=JCM 12645(T)) and Geobacter psychrophilus sp. nov. (strains P11, P35(T) and P39; type strain P35(T)=ATCC BAA-1013(T)=DSM 16674(T)=JCM 12644(T)) are proposed.},
