Abstract

Three bacterial isolates from soil, capable of degradation or transformation of nitroaromatic compounds and displaying a rod–coccus growth cycle, were studied by a polyphasic approach. On the basis of 16S rRNA sequence analysis and of chemotaxonomic characteristics, such as type A3 peptidoglycan with an interpeptide bridge Ala–Thr–Ala, the major menaquinone MK-9(H) and fatty acid composition, the isolates were assigned to the genus . DNA–DNA hybridization, riboprinting and phenotypic studies revealed that the three strains constitute a single species, distinct from phylogenetically neighbouring and . A novel species, sp. nov., with the type strain G2-1 (=CCM 4924=DSM 15232) is proposed.
