Abstract

A strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated strain No.6, was isolated from a lichen ( sp.) collected in Geogeum Island, Korea, and its taxonomic status was established by a polyphasic study. Cells of strain No.6 were non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-spore-forming rods. Growth was observed at 15–35 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C), at pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 6.0–8.0) and with 0–3 % NaCl (optimum, 0–2 %). The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C 2-OH and/or Cω7, 41.5 %), iso-C (26.7 %) and C (9.6 %), and menaquinone MK-7 was the only respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain No.6 was 36.8 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain No.6 fell within the evolutionary group encompassed by the genus . Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the novel strain and the type strains of recognized species ranged from 92.1 to 99.1 %, the highest values being with SY1 (99.1 %) and IAM 14316 (98.5 %). DNA–DNA relatedness between strain No.6 and these two type strains were 32.0 and 5.7 %, respectively. The polar lipids found in strain No.6 were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified phospholipids, three unidentified aminophospholipids, one glycolipid and four unidentified lipids. One unidentified sphingolipid was also found. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, strain No.6 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is No.6 ( = KCTC 22613 = JCM 16113). An emended description of is also proposed.
