Abstract

A bacterial strain designated NAA16 was isolated from a freshwater spring in Taiwan and was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain NAA16 was aerobic, Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Growth occurred at 20–40 °C (optimum, 25 °C), at pH 7.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.5) and with up to 1 % NaCl (optimum, 0.5 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the closest relatives of strain NAA16 were MN28, CW-KD 4 and DCY12, with respective sequence similarities of 96.7, 96.6 and 96.2 %. Phylogenetic trees reconstructed from 16S rRNA gene or sequences (encoding the β-subunit of the RNA polymerase) revealed that the novel strain NAA16 and these three closest relatives formed an independent phylogenetic clade within the . Strain NAA16 contained C, Cω7 and summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6) as predominant fatty acids and possessed phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and an uncharacterized aminophospholipid as dominant polar lipids. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The DNA G+C content of strain NAA16 was 66.2 mol%. The taxonomic relationship of strain NAA16, DSM 15731, DSM 18980 and LMG 24014 was clarified by means of a direct experimental comparison. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, the descriptions of the genus and its type species are emended. Members of the genus are Gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, aerobic or facultatively anaerobic and chemo-organotrophic. Chemotaxonomically, members of the genus possess Q-8 as the major respiratory quinone, C and Cω7 as predominant fatty acids and phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and an uncharacterized aminophospholipid as dominant polar lipids; the DNA G+C content is 64.9–68.4 mol%. Phylogenetic evidence, supported by chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, allowed us to assign strain NAA16 to the genus within the novel species sp. nov. (type strain NAA16  = BCRC 17835  = LMG 24500). The reclassification of as comb. nov. (type strain CW-KD 4  = DSM 18980  = KCTC 12881  = CCTCC AB 206145) and as comb. nov. (type strain MN28  = DSM 15731  = LMG 22844) is also proposed.
