Proposed Taxon Etymology Description Parent Taxon Type Registry URL
Genus Tenderia [Ten.de'ri.a] N.L. fem. n. Tenderia, named after Leonard M. Tender, a pioneering researcher in the development of microbial electrochemical technologies
The description is the same as given to the type species by Eddie et al (2016).
Tenderiaceae Tenderia electrophagaTs seqco.de/i:23551
Species Tenderia electrophagaTs [e.lec.tro.pha'ga] Gr. neut. n. electron, amber; Gr. verb phago, to eat; N.L. fem. adj. electrophaga, eater of electricity
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).
