Abstract: Two methanogenic cultures were enriched from acidic peat soil using a growthmedium buffered to c. pH 5. One culture, 6A, was obtained from peat afterincubation with H2/CO2, whereas culture NTAwas derived from a 104 dilution ofuntreated peat into a modified medium. 16S rRNA gene clone libraries from eachculture contained one methanogen and two bacterial sequences. The methanogen16S rRNA gene sequences were 99% identical with each other and belonged to thenovel ‘R-10/Fen cluster’ family of the Methanomicrobiales, whereas their mcrAsequences were 96% identical. One bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence from culture6A belonged to the Bacteroidetes and showed 99% identity with sequences frommethanogenic enrichments from German and Russian bogs. The other sequencebelonged to the Firmicutes and was identical to a thick rod-shaped citrate-utilizingorganism isolated from culture 6A, the numbers of which decreased when the Ti(III) chelator was switched from citrate to nitrilotriacetate. Bacterial clones fromthe NTA culture clustered in the Delta- and Betaproteobacteria. Both culturescontained thin rods, presumably the methanogens, as the predominant morphotype,and represent a significant advance in characterization of the novel acidiphilic R-10 family methanogens.
