Abstract
A novel anaerobic bacterium that could ferment amino acids and organic acids was isolated from an anaerobic, propionate-oxidizing enrichment culture originating from soil of a rice field in Japan. Cells of the isolate, designated strain 4F6ET, were Gram-staining-negative, oxidase- and catalase-negative, non-spore-forming, vibrio-shaped, motile rods (0.8×2.0–2.5 µm) with two or three lateral flagella. Growth occurred at 20–42 °C (optimum at 37–40 °C), at pH 6.4–8.4 (optimum at pH 7.3) and at 0–1.
