sp. nov., a psychrophilic bacterium isolated from alpine soil Free

Abstract

An aerobic, Gram-negative-staining, motile, psychrophilic bacterium, designated strain S8-3, was isolated from alpine soil. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain S8-3 was related to the genus and had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with S213 (98.0 %). 16S RNA gene sequence similarity between strain S8-3 and ATCC 29837 (the type species of the genus ) was 93.0 %. Strain S8-3 contained Q-10 as the ubiquinone and Cω7 (65.0 %) and C 2-OH (13.4 %) as the dominant fatty acids (>10 %). The major polyamines were the triamine homospermidine and spermidine. The polar lipid profile contained sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content was 64.1 mol%. Combined data from phenotypic, phylogenetic and DNA–DNA relatedness studies demonstrated that strain S8-3 is a representative of a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S8-3 ( = DSM 22537 = LMG 26055).
