sp. nov., a nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from cyanobacterial aggregates in a eutrophic lake Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, slightly curved rod-shaped, non-spore-forming diazotrophic bacterium, designated strain TH16, was isolated from cyanobacterial aggregates taken from eutrophic Lake Taihu, Jiangsu Province, China. The pH range for growth was 5–9 (optimum at pH 7.0), salinity range was 0–2  % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0  %) and temperature range was 20–37 °C (optimum 30 °C) in nutrient broth. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain TH16 clusters near and is closely related to the genus within the family of the class . Within the genus , strain TH16 was related most closely to KBC1 (98.1  % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and CC-LY736 (97.0  %). The DNA G+C content of strain TH16 was 64 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain TH16 and the type strains of and was 39.6 and 30.1  %, respectively. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10.The major fatty acids (>10  %) were Cω6/Cω7, C 2-OH and C 3-OH. Genes in the operon, encoding proteins of the photosynthetic reaction centre and core light-harvesting complexes, were also present. Based on morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain TH16 represents a novel species within the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TH16 ( = CGMCC 1.12958 = LMG 28334).
