sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from industrially contaminated sediments Free

Abstract

Two Gram-staining-negative bacterial strains, designated 3A10 and ECP37, were isolated from sediment samples collected from an industrially contaminated site in northern Portugal. These two organisms were rod-shaped, non-motile, aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive and formed yellow colonies. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C, anteiso-C, iso-C 9 and iso-C 3-OH. The G+C content of the DNA of strains 3A10 and ECP37 was 43 and 34 mol%, respectively. The major isoprenoid quinone of the two strains was MK-6. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strains 3A10 and ECP37 were members of the family and were related phylogenetically to the genus . Strain 3A10 showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.2 and 96.6 % to the type strains of and , respectively; strain ECP37 showed 97.3 % similarity to the type strain of . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed levels of genomic relatedness of <70 % between strains 3A10 and ECP37 and between these two strains and the type strains of , and , justifying their classification as representing two novel species of the genus . The names proposed for these organisms are sp. nov. (type strain 3A10 =LMG 24685 =NBRC 104928) and sp. nov. (type strain ECP37 =LMG 24684 =NBRC 104927).
