Strain BZ92rT was isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. Cells were Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and cold-adapted (growth at 1–25 °C). The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (25.6 %), iso-C17 : 1 ω9c (24.9 %), iso-C11 : 0 (18.4 %) and iso-C11 : 0 3-OH (16.2 %). The predominant ubiquinone was ubiquinone-8. The genomic DNA G+C content was 72.0 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain BZ92rT was a member of the genus Luteimonas (94.5–95.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain BZ92rT was considered to represent a novel species of the genus Luteimonas. The name Luteimonas terricola sp. nov. is proposed, with BZ92rT (=DSM 22344T =CGMCC 1.8985T) as the type strain.
