Abstract

A Gram-negative bacterium, designated KIS13-15, was isolated from soil in Korea. Cells were strictly aerobic rods and were motile with 1–3 subpolar flagella. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain KIS13-15 belonged to the order of the class and was closely related to GR15-1 (97.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Soe1 (96.8 %). Strain KIS13-15 exhibited 38 and 29 % DNA–DNA relatedness with KACC 11703 and DSM 11499, respectively. The major fatty acids (>10 % of the total) were Cω7 (40.6 %) and C (12.4 %). The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone 8. DNA G+C content was 67.3 mol%. The phenotypic characterization combined with 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization clearly classified strain KIS13-15 in a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KIS13-15 ( = KACC 12736  = JCM 15425).
