An anaerobic, halorespiring bacterium (strain PCE-M2T=DSM 13726T=ATCC BAA-583T) able to reduce tetrachloroethene to cis-dichloroethene was isolated from an anaerobic soil polluted with chlorinated aliphatic compounds. The isolate is assigned to the genus Sulfurospirillum as a novel species, Sulfurospirillum halorespirans sp. nov. Furthermore, on the basis of all available data, a related organism, Dehalospirillum multivorans DSM 12446T, is reclassified to the genus Sulfurospirillum as Sulfurospirillum multivorans comb. nov.
Published online ahead of print on 11 October 2002 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.02417-0.
The GenBank accession number for the 16S rDNA sequence of strain PCE-M2T is AF218076.
