A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod- or coccus-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated DMZ1T, was isolated from soil of the Demilitarized Zone, South Korea. Strain DMZ1T grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7–8 and with 1 % (w/v) NaCl. The isolate showed high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Knoellia aerolata 5317S-21T (98.2 %). The cell-wall sugars were glucose and ribose. The peptidoglycan amino acids were meso-diaminopimelic acid, glutamic acid and glycine. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C14 : 0. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and five unknown phospholipids. The isolate did not contain mycolic acids. The DNA G+C content was 72.6 mol%. The isolate showed <28 % DNA–DNA relatedness with members of the genus Knoellia. Phylogenetic, phenotypic and genotypic analysis indicated that strain DMZ1T represents a novel species of the genus Knoellia, for which the name Knoellia locipacati sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DMZ1T ( = KACC 15114T = JCM 17313T).
