Several yellowish-pigmented bacteria with an optimum growth temperature of about 30 degrees C, were recovered from the source (borehole) of bottled mineral water in the Serra da Estrela in Eastern Portugal. Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strains S-94T , S-97, S-99 and S-92 indicated that these organisms represent a new species of the Betaproteobacteria that is not closely related to any other known species. The major fatty acids of the strains are 16:1 omega7c and 16:0. Ubiquinone 8 is the major respiratory quinone. The new isolates are strictly organotrophic and aerobic. The new strains only assimilated organic acids, glycine and alanine. Casamino acids and a mixture of all natural amino acids are not used as sole carbon and nitrogen sources; these are used as nitrogen source in the presence of organic acids. On the basis of the phylogenetic analyses, physiological and biochemical characteristics, we are of the opinion that strains S-94T, S-97, S-99 and S-92 represent a new species of a novel genus for which we propose the name Herminiimonas fonticola gen. nov., sp. nov.

Herminiimonas fonticola gen。十一月，sp。nov。，从瓶装矿泉水来源中分离出的Betaproteobacter。

从葡萄牙东部的塞拉达埃斯特雷拉（Serra da Estrela）的瓶装矿泉水源（钻孔）中回收了几种最佳生长温度约为30摄氏度的淡黄色色素细菌。对菌株S-94T，S-97，S-99和S-92的16S rRNA基因序列进行系统进化分析表明，这些生物代表了新的Betaproteobacteria物种，与其他任何已知物种均不密切相关。菌株的主要脂肪酸为16：1 omega7c和16：0。泛醌8是主要的呼吸醌。新分离株严格是有机营养的和需氧的。新菌株仅吸收有机酸，甘氨酸和丙氨酸。酪蛋白氨基酸和所有天然氨基酸的混合物不能用作唯一的碳源和氮源。这些在有机酸存在下用作氮源。根据系统发育分析，生理和生化特性，我们认为菌株S-94T，S-97，S-99和S-92代表了新属的一个新物种，为此我们将其命名为Herminiimonas丰提科拉将军 十一月，sp。十一月
