Abstract

Two Gram-stain-negative, non-fermentative bacterial strains, designated 11-0202 and 11-0607, were isolated from soil in South Korea, and four others, LUH 13522, LUH 8638, LUH 10268 and LUH 10288, were isolated from a beet field in Germany, soil in the Netherlands, and sediment of integrated fish farms in Malaysia and Thailand, respectively. Based on 16S rRNA, and gene sequences, they are considered to represent a novel species of the genus . Their 16S rRNA gene sequences showed greatest pairwise similarity to NIPH 838 (97.9–98.4 %). They shared highest and gene sequence similarity with DSM 6963 and 4B02 (85.4–87.6 and 78.1–82.7 %, respectively). Strain 11-0202 displayed low DNA–DNA reassociation values (<40 %) with the most closely related species of the genus . The six strains utilized azelate, 2,3-butanediol, ethanol and -lactate as sole carbon sources. Cellular fatty acid analyses showed similarities to profiles of related species of the genus : summed feature 3 (Cω7, Cω6; 24.3–27.2 %), Cω9 (19.9–22.1 %), C (15.2–22.0 %) and C (9.2–14.2 %). On the basis of the current findings, it is concluded that the six strains represent a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 11-0202 ( = KCTC 32033 = JCM 18512).
