Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated strain BY-1, was isolated from a soil sample from the city of Qiqihar in Heilongjiang Province, PR China. Strain BY-1 grew optimally at pH 7.0 and 30–35 °C in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain BY-1 fell within the radiation of the genus , and showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to IAM 13000 (99.5 %) and HR2 (97.3 %); the levels of sequence similarity with respect to other recognized species of the genus were <96.7 %. Strain BY-1 showed low DNA–DNA relatedness values with IAM 13000 (29±3.1 %) and HR2 (21±1.5 %). The GC content of the genomic DNA of strain BY-1 was 55.3 mol%. The major fatty acids were C, C and summed feature 3 (Cω6 and/or Cω7). Major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, and the major ubiquinone was Q-9. Data obtained in this study indicated that this isolate represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BY-1 ( = KACC 15471 = ACCC 05688).
