RESUMO
A mesophilic, anaerobic, endospore-forming, fermentative bacterium designated strain 8C15bT was isolated from bank sediment of the Bach Dang Estuary, Haiphong, Vietnam. The Bach Dang Estuary, where Haiphong harbour is located, is subject to strong anthropogenic influence, resulting in high concentrations of black carbon and heavy metals. Strain 8C15bT grew optimally at 30â°C, pH 7.5 and with 2.5â% (w/v) NaCl. The main cellular fatty acids consisted of iso-C15â:â0 (51â%), iso-C15:1 ω7c (32â%) and iso-C13â:â0 (5â%). Genomic considerations of strain 8C15bT and comparisons with the phylogenetically closest strains of the genus Tepidibacter provide evidence that Tepidibacter thalassicus SC562T (=DSM 15285T), Tepidibacter formicigenes DV1184T (=DSM 15518T), Tepidibacter mesophilus B1T (=JCM 16806T) and strain 8C15bT could be differentiated at the species level. We propose the name Tepidibacter aestuarii sp. nov. for the type strain 8C15bT (=JCM 35983T=KCTC 25692T). Finally, the nickel-tolerance properties of strain 8C15bT are highlighted in this study.

In this study, we discuss for the first time the relationships between the diversity of the bacterial population and of the metals and metalloids concentrations in the sediments of the Red River Delta, Vietnam. The analysis of the 16S rRNA by the Illumina technology revealed a diversified population and a potential of bioremediation by the microorganisms, notably by the Bacilli relatively abundant in the Bach Dang estuary, where high metals and metalloids concentrations were highlighted. This work offers new information on the environmental context of the delta and highlights the potential impact that metals and metalloids may have on the bacterial population. Further investigations on the role of the bacteria in the biogeochemistry of this ecosystem will be of interest for the development of bioremediation processes.
RESUMO
We report the complete genome sequence of Tepidibacter sp. strain 8C15b, isolated from bank sediments of Haiphong Bay, Vietnam. The genome includes a 3,628,320-bp circular chromosome and a plasmid of 38,213 bp.
