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.

Abbreviations: 3HB, 3-hydroxybutyrate; 3MB, 3-mercaptobutyrate; 3MP, 3-mercaptopropionate; PHA, polyhydroxyalkanoate

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rDNA sequence of strain K14T is AY152824.
