Abstract
Natr.an.ae.ro.fa’ba. N.L. neut. n. natron, derived from Arabic natrun soda (sodium carbonate); Gr. pref. an-, not; Gr. masc. n. aêr, air; L. fem. n. faba, bean; N.L. fem. n. Natranaerofaba, bean-shaped soda loving anaerobe.
The genus Natrabaerofaba forms a deep-branching lineage in the order Natranaerobiales, class Natranaerobiia. It includes obligately anaerobic bacteria utilizing CO and pyruvate during acetogenic growth and formate and lactate in the presence of thiosulfate, fumarate, or nitrate as electron acceptors. Nitrate is
ammonified. They are extremely halophilic and obligately alkaliphilic, moderate thermophiles. The polar lipids are dominated by diethers, which is rare in bacteria. Currently includes a single species Natranaerofaba carboxydovora.
DNA G + C content (%): 35.3 (genome sequence).
Type species: Natranaerofaba carboxydovora Sorokin
et al. 2021, VL202.
