sp. nov., isolated from soil of a forest, and emended descriptions of and Free

Abstract

A novel Gram-staining-negative bacterial strain, designated XH4, was isolated from soil of a forest in the Hotan River valley, Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region, PR China. The cells were strictly aerobic, non-motile, short rods. The isolate grew optimally at 37 °C and at pH 7.0–8.0. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain XH4 belonged to the genus and was closely related to ATCC 33299 (96.1 % sequence similarity). The DNA G+C content was 41.2 mol%. The major polar lipid of strain XH4 was phosphatidylethanolamine, and several unidentified polar lipids were also present. Strain XH4 showed the typical chemotaxonomic features of the genus , with the presence of ceramide phosphorylethanolamine 2 (CerPE-2) as the major ceramide. The major cellular fatty acids of strain XH4 were iso-C (34.0 %), summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6; 20.7 %) and iso-C 3-OH (14.7 %). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. On the basis of phenotypic data and phylogenetic inference, strain XH4 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XH4 ( = NRRL B-59204  = CCTCC AB 209007). Emended descriptions of and are also given.
