Abstract

A yellow-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium designated strain HLJ-RS18, which could degrade fluorene, was isolated from rice seeds collected from Heilongjiang Province, China. Similarities of full-length of 16S rRNA gene sequences between strain HJL-RS18 and the type strains of the genus with validly published names ranged from 93.8 to 97.1 %. Phylogenetic analysis with maximum-likelihood and neighbour-joining methods revealed that strain HLJ-RS18 belonged to genus and strain HLJ-RS18 formed a distinct clade to BUT-14 (96.9 % similarity based on 16S rRNA gene). DNA–DNA hybridization of HLJ-RS18 and BUT-14 showed a low relatedness value of 22.4±0.9 %, which indicated that strain HLJ-RS18 represents a novel species of the genus . The genomic DNA G+C content of strain HLJ-RS18 was 62 mol%. Ubiquinone Q-10 was the major respiratory quinone. Spermidine was the predominant polyamine. Polar lipids consisted mainly of aminophospholipid, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phospholipid and sphingoglycolipid. The predominant fatty acid composition of HLJ-RS18 were summed 8 (Cω7 and/or Cω6, 61.5 %), C (14.2 %), summed 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6, 13.5 %) and C 2-OH (6.8 %). Phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, chemotaxonomic data and phenotypic characteristics support the conclusion that HLJ-RS18 represents a novel species within the genus . Therefore, we propose the species sp. nov. with HLJ-RS18 ( = DSM 27568 = ACCC19180) as the type strain.
