HAMAP: Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum (strain DSM 13744 / JCM 10971 / SI) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum (strain DSM 13744 / JCM 10971 / SI)
Species code: PELTS
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Clostridia; Clostridiales; Peptococcaceae; Pelotomaculum (TaxID: 370438) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum (strain DSM 13744 / JCM 10971 / SI) is a non-halophilic thermophilic anaerobic bacterium phylogenetically associated with the Firmicutes. Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum was isolated from granular sludge from a thermophilic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. It was isolated both in pure culture and in co-culture with methanogens. Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum oxidizes volatile fatty acids and alcohols in syntrophic association with methanogenic archaea. It can utilize propionate, ethanol, lactate, ethylene glycol, 1-butanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol and 1,3-propanediol. In pure culture, Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum can ferment pyruvate and fumarate. Fumarate can also be used as an electron acceptor in the presence of propionate, ethanol or lactate as an electron donor. This is the first mesophilic, syntropic propionate-oxidizing species known which is not a member of the delta-proteobacteria.
