ABSTRACT

Two strains of dissimilatory arsenate-reducing vibrio-shaped bacteria are assigned to the genus Sulfurospirillum. These two new species, Sulfurospirillum barnesii strain SES-3^T and Sulfurospirillum arsenophilum strain MIT-13^T, in addition to Sulfurospirillum sp. SM-5, two strains of Sulfurospirillum deleyianum, and Sulfurospirillum arcachonense, form a distinct clade within the subclass of the Proteobacteria based on 16S rRNA analysis.

Key Words: arsenate reduction • selenate reduction • Proteobacteria • Sulfurospirillum barnesi • Sulfurospirillum arsenophilum

The GenBank accession number for the 16S rDNA sequence of strain SES-3^T is AF038843.
