Schlegelella thermodepolymerans gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel thermophilic bacterium that degrades poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-mercaptopropionate).

A novel thermophilic bacterium, strain K14T, capable of degrading poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) as well as copolymers containing 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-mercaptopropionate linked by thioester bonds, was isolated. 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that strain DhA-71, a dehydroabietic acid-degrading bacterium, was the nearest phylogenetic neighbour and that both strains should be placed as members of a newly created genus, Schlegelella gen. nov., in the Rubrivivax subgroup of the beta-Proteobacteria. Strain K14T (= LMG 21644T = DSM 15344T) is proposed as the type strain of Schlegelella thermodepolymerans gen. nov., sp. nov. Its phylogenetic, morphological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics are described in detail.[1]
