The genus Acidihalobacter has three validated species, Acidihalobacter ferrooxydans , Acidihalobacter prosperus and Acidihalobacter aeolinanus , all of which were isolated from Vulcano island, Italy. They are obligately chemolithotrophic, aerobic, acidophilic and halophilic in nature and use either ferrous iron or reduced sulphur as electron donors. Recently, a novel strain was isolated from an acidic, saline drain in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia. Strain F5 T has an absolute requirement for sodium chloride (&gt;5 mM) and is osmophilic, growing in elevated concentrations (&gt;1 M) of magnesium sulphate. A defining feature of its physiology is its ability to catalyse the oxidative dissolution of the most abundant copper mineral, chalcopyrite, suggesting a potential role in biomining. Originally categorized as a strain of A. prosperus , 16S rRNA gene phylogeny and multiprotein phylogenies derived from clusters of orthologous proteins (COGS) of ribosomal protein families and universal protein families unambiguously demonstrate that strain F5 T forms a well-supported separate branch as a sister clade to A. prosperus and is clearly distinguishable from A. ferrooxydans DSM 14175 T and A. aeolinanus DSM14174 T . Results of comparisons between strain F5 T and the other Acidihalobacter species, using genome-based average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity, correlation indices of tetra-nucleotide signatures (Tetra) and genome-to-genome distance (digital DNA-DNA hybridization), support the contention that strain F5 T represents a novel species of the genus Acidihalobacter . It is proposed that strain F5 T should be formally reclassified as Acidihalobacter yilgarnenesis F5 T (=DSM 105917 T =JCM 32255 T ).

Genome-based classification of Acidihalobacter prosperus F5 (=DSM 105917=JCM 32255) as Acidihalobacter yilgarnensis sp. nov.
