Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, designated strain JJ013, was isolated from an artificial lake in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain JJ013 indicated that the isolate belonged to the family and exhibited similarity levels of 96.6 % to the type strains of and and 96.5 % to the type strain of . Growth was observed at 20–30 °C and pH 5.0–7.0. The major cellular fatty acids of the novel strain were iso-C (27.5 %), iso-C G (17.8 %), iso-C 3-OH (9.4 %) and iso-C 3-OH (9.2 %). Flexirubin-type pigments were present. The DNA G+C content of strain JJ013 was 33.9 mol%, the major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 (MK-6) and the major polyamine was -homospermidine. The polar lipid profile of the strain JJ013 consisted of a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), two unknown aminolipids (AL1–2), three unidentified lipid (L1–3) and an unknown glycolipid (GL). On the basis of the morphological and physiological properties and biochemical evidence presented, it is concluded that strain JJ013 represents a novel species of the genus for which the name sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is JJ013 ( = KACC 16594 = JCM 18211). Since C, which is known as a predominant fatty acid of the genus was not detected in the novel strain and other reference strains, we propose an emended description of the genus .
