sp. nov., a gamma- and UV-radiation-resistant bacterium, isolated from a naturally radioactive site Free

Abstract

Four gamma- and UV-radiation-resistant bacterial strains, designated TDMA-24, TDMA-24-2, TDMA-24-3 and TDMA-24-4, were isolated from a fresh-water sample collected at Misasa, Tottori, Japan. Cells of these strains were Gram-reaction-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and formed red colonies. The genomic DNA G+C contents ranged from 70.5 to 70.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the novel isolates belong to the genus , the highest sequence similarities being with PB314 (98 %) and Ho-08 (97 %). The polar lipid profile of strain TDMA-24 comprised three unidentified phosphoglycolipids, five unidentified glycolipids and seven unidentified polar lipids. MK-8 was the predominant respiratory quinone. Major fatty acids were iso-C, Cω6, C, C and summed feature 3 (iso-C 2-OH and/or Cω7). On the basis of their phylogenetic positions and chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics, the novel isolates represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TDMA-24 ( = JCM 14369  = NBRC 102115  = CCUG 53609).
