An anaerobic, thermophilic, thiosulfate-reducing bacterium, strain AZM16c01T, isolated from a hot spring in Japan [Mori, K., Sunamura, M., Yanagawa, K., Ishibashi, J., Miyoshi, Y., Iino, T., Suzuki, K. & Urabe, T. (2008). Appl Environ Microbiol 74, 6223–6229] was characterized in detail. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis had revealed that strain AZM16c01T was the first cultivated representative of the candidate phylum OP5. The cells were multicellular filaments with a single polar flagellum. The strain contained iso-C17 : 0 as the major fatty acid and menaquinone-8(H6), menaquinone-8(H8) and menaquinone-8(H10) as the respiratory quinones. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain AZM16c01T was 34.6 mol%. Optimum growth was obtained at 65 °C, pH 6.5 and in the absence of NaCl, with a doubling time of 10.6 h. On the basis of the results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the characterization of the strain in this study, we propose the name Caldisericum exile gen. nov., sp. nov. for strain AZM16c01T (=NBRC 104410T=DSM 21853T). In addition, we propose the new phylum name Caldiserica phyl. nov. for the candidate phylum OP5 represented by C. exile gen. nov., sp. nov., and Caldisericaceae fam. nov., Caldisericales ord. nov. and Caldisericia classis nov.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain AZM16c01T is AB428365.

Graphs showing the effects of temperature, pH and NaCl concentration on the growth of strain AZM16c01T are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
