Here, we report the detailed characteristics of this strain. It was motile with a single polar flagellum, and Gram-stain-negative. It could grow not only chemolithoautotrophically but also chemoorganotrophically by aerobic respiration and fermentation. Major cellular fatty acids were C\u003cjats:sub\u003e16 : 1\u003c/jats:sub\u003e\n                  \u003cjats:italic\u003e ω\u003c/jats:italic\u003e7\u003cjats:italic\u003ec\u003c/jats:italic\u003e/C\u003cjats:sub\u003e16 : 1\u003c/jats:sub\u003e\n                  \u003cjats:italic\u003e ω\u003c/jats:italic\u003e6\u003cjats:italic\u003ec\u003c/jats:italic\u003e, and C\u003cjats:sub\u003e16 : 0\u003c/jats:sub\u003e. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that strain MIZ03\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e belonged to the genus \u003cjats:italic\u003eRhodoferax\u003c/jats:italic\u003e. This strain was closely related to \u003cjats:italic\u003eRhodoferax ferrireducens\u003c/jats:italic\u003e with 98.5 % of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Based on its phenotypic and genomic based characteristics, we conclude that strain MIZ03\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e represents a new species in the genus \u003cjats:italic\u003eRhodoferax\u003c/jats:italic\u003e. We propose the name \u003cjats:italic\u003eRhodoferax lithotrophicus\u003c/jats:italic\u003e sp. nov. to accommodate this strain. The type strain is MIZ03\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e (=JCM 34246\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e=DSM 113266\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e). We also propose the name \u003cjats:italic\u003eRhodoferax koreensis\u003c/jats:italic\u003e sp. nov., of which the type strain is DCY110\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e (=KCTC 52288\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e=JCM 31441\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e), for the effectively, but not yet validly, published name ‘\u003cjats:italic\u003eRhodoferax koreense\u003c/jats:italic\u003e’.\u003c/jats:p\u003e","long_citation_html":"Kato et al.
