Abstract

A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, designated Gsoil 191, was isolated from a soil sample from a ginseng field in Pocheon Province, South Korea, and was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain Gsoil 191 belongs to the family and is related to LMG 23001 (97.8 % sequence similarity) and KCTC 12396 (96.9 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 68.7 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8 and the major fatty acids were iso-C 9 (30.6 %), iso-C (21.6 %) and iso-C (13.0 %), supporting the affiliation of strain Gsoil 191 to the genus . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments showed that the DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain Gsoil 191 and its closest phylogenetic neighbours were below 40 %. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain Gsoil 191 from recognized species of the genus . On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Gsoil 191 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Gsoil 191 (=KCTC 12564=DSM 17954=CCUG 52462).
