Abstract

A previously undescribed aerobic, non-sporulating bacterium, strain G1A_585, was isolated from an oligotrophic freshwater lake in Bavaria, Germany. The rod-shaped cells were Gram-stain-negative and non-motile. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain G1A_585 was a member of the family and shared <95.2 % similarity with type strains of all members of the most closely related genus, . Phyogenetically, the isolate shared a root with strains of three marine species, DSM 16223, DSM 22363 and DSM 22379. The polar lipids of strain G1A_585 were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, sphingoglycolipids, three glycolipids and one unknown lipid. Ubiquinone-10 was the dominant quinone (93.1 %) and ubiquinone-9 (6.5 %) was also detected. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (Cω7 and/or Cω6; 38.2 %); Cω7 (33.6 %) and C 2-OH (17.8 %). The major polyamine was spermidine and traces of 1,3-diaminopropane, putrescine and spermine were also detected. The DNA G+C content of strain G1A_585 was 55.7 mol% and the isolate was oxidase- and catalase-positive. Based on the phylogenetic relationship, the low DNA G+C content compared with most other members of the genus and the presence of signature nucleotides in the 16S rRNA gene sequence, a novel species in a new genus and species, gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed; the type strain of is G1A_585 ( = DSM 25081  = LMG 26646). Because DSM 16223, DSM 22363 and DSM 22379 form a phylogenetic group together with strain G1A_585 that is clearly separated from all other known strains and share signature nucleotides, these three strains are reclassified as members of the proposed novel genus : comb. nov. (type strain SW-151 = DSM 16223 = KCTC 12232), comb. nov. (type strain FR1087 = DSM 22363 = IMSNU 14132 = KCTC 12763 = JCM 14161) and comb. nov. (type strain FR1093 = DSM 22379 = IMSNU 14133 = KCTC 12764 = JCM 14162).
