The organism grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 7.0. Strain CLGT contained l-Lys–d-Asp as the peptidoglycan type and galactose, rhamnose and xylose as the whole-cell sugars. It contained anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol, three phosphoglycolipids and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content was 70.3 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of strain CLGT with Isoptericola dokdonensis DS-3T was 99.4 % but the DNA–DNA relatedness between strain CLGT and I. dokdonensis DS-3T was 58.7 %. There were also many phenotypic properties that distinguished strain CLGT from recognized species of the genus Isoptericola. The results showed that strain CLGT represents a novel species of the genus Isoptericola, for which the name Isoptericola jiangsuensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CLGT (=DSM 21863T=CCTCC AB208287T).", }
