Abstract
The analysis of three water samples from two cooling towers and one river allowed us to isolate three strains of a novel species of the classAlphaproteobacteriawhich is phylogenetically related to uncultured alphaproteobacteria. Based upon 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and phenotypic characterization, we propose to name this novel speciesReyranella massiliensisgen. nov., sp. nov., type strain 521T( = CSUR P115T = DSM 23428T). The most closely related cultivable micro-organism to this novel bacterium is a member of the genusMagnetospirillum.Keywords
