Species Tenderia electrophagaTs

Etymology
[e.lec.tro.pha'ga] Gr. neut. n. electron, amber; Gr. verb phago, to eat; N.L. fem. adj. electrophaga, eater of electricity
Nomenclatural type
INSDC Nucleotide: CP013099.1 Ts
Description
The description is the same as given by Eddie et al., 2016:
Slender rod-shaped bacteria, approximately 1.8 × 0.6 µm, Gram-negative, forms clumps on graphite or gold cathodes poised at 310 mV vs SHE. Autotrophic via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle, utilizing extracellular electron donors to generate ATP and reducing equivalents via reverse electron transport. Aerobic or microaerophilic, non-photosynthetic with no evidence of ability to grow chemolithoautotrophically with ammonium or reduced sulfur species as electron donors. Mesophilic growth in artificial seawater. The basis of recognition as a novel candidate genus and species within the Gammaproteobacteria is a phylogenetic position that is not clearly within any known family. The closest species with validly published names are within the orders Chromatiales and Thiotrichales. Cells are recognized with the 16S rRNA specific oligonucleotide probe Tel428 (5′-CGTCATTATCCTCCCTGCTGAA-3′). The DNA G+C content is 59.2 mol%. It grows as a member of a bacterial community enriched from marine sediments and seawater collected in near shore water at the Rutgers University Marine Field Station (Tuckerton, NJ, USA).
