sp. nov., isolated from desert sand Free

Abstract

A Gram-negative, aerobic, motile, like rod, strain 10-1-84, was isolated from a sand sample collected from the desert of Xinjiang, China. The isolate contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and Cω7, C, Cω7 and C 2-OH as the major fatty acids. The polyamine pattern contained predominantly -homospermidine. The main polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine and an unknown polar lipid. The DNA GC content was 63.3 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain 10-1-84 and the type strains of species of the genus ranged from 91.11 to 96.54 %. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain 10-1-84 belonged to the genus . On the basis of phylogenetic analysis and physiological and biochemical characterization, strain 10-1-84 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 10-1-84 ( = CCTCC AB 208035  = NRRL B-51332).
