Abstract

The taxonomic status of a bacterium, strain DC-8, isolated from activated sludge, was determined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The cells of strain DC-8 were Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped. The isolate grew at temperature range of 10–40 °C (optimum 30–35 °C), pH range of 5.0–10.0 (optimum 6.5–8.0) and NaCl concentrations of 0–5 % (optimum 0–1 %). The predominant menaquinone of strain DC-8 was MK-7 and major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (Cω6 and/or Cω7; 39.7 %), iso-C (33.7 %) and C (5.2 %). The DNA G+C content was 39.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison revealed that strain DC-8 was a member of the genus . Strain DC-8 shared the highest similarity with SY1 (98.4 %), IAM 14316 (98.3 %), CR11 (98.0 %) and 6.2S (97.9 %) and shared less than 97 % similarity with other members of the genus . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments showed that the DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain DC-8 and its closest phylogenetic neighbours were below 70 %. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, whole-cell fatty acid composition as well as biochemical characteristics, strain DC-8 was clearly distinguished from all recognized species of the genus and should be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DC-8 ( = CCTCC AB 2012020 = KACC 16850).
