Abstract
A novel strictly anaerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon, strain 4213-coT, was isolated from a terrestrial hot spring in the Uzon Caldera, Kamchatka (Russian Federation). Coccoid cells were present singly, in pairs, or aggregates, and occasionally were motile. The strain grew at 75–100 °C and within a pH range of 5.4–8.2 with the optimum at 92 °C and pH 6.4–6.7. Strain 4213-coT was a chemoorganoheterotroph, growing on proteinaceous substrates and mono-, di- and polysaccharides (starch, guar gum, xanthan gum). It did not require sodium chloride for growth. The complete genome of strain 4213-coT was 1.74 Mbp in size; its G+C content was 36.18 %. Genome analysis allowed to identify 25 genes encoding glycosidases involved in polysaccharide hydrolysis as well as genes of ADP-forming acetate-CoA ligase, lactate dehydrogenase and two [NiFe] hydrogenases responsible for acetate, lactate and hydrogen formation during fermentation. Moreover gene cluster encoding archaellum subunits was found. According to the phylogenomic analysis strain 4213-coT formed a species-level phylogenetic lineage within Ignisphaera genus. Our phylogenomic analysis also supports the delineation of the Ignisphaera genus into a separate family Ignisphaeraceae, as recently published. Here we propose a novel species Ignisphaera cupida, sp. nov. with type strain 4213-coT (=JCM 39446T=VKM B-3715T=UQM 41593T). Ecogenomic analysis showed that representatives of the Ignisphaera are thermophilic archaea, the majority of them were found in terrestrial hot springs and deep-sea hydrothermal vents. This study allowed a better understanding of physiology and ecology of Ignisphaeraceae – a rather understudied archaeal group.

Systematic and Applied Microbiology deals with various aspects of microbial diversity and systematics of prokaryotes. It focuses on Bacteria and Archaea; eukaryotic microorganisms will only be considered in rare cases. The journal perceives a broad understanding of microbial diversity and encourages the submission of manuscripts from the following branches of microbiology:
