Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, curved, rod-shaped bacterium, H-E3-2, was isolated from a water sample taken from Daechung Reservoir, Republic of Korea, during the late-blooming period of cyanobacteria. Strain H-E3-2 was motile with a single polar flagellum or non-motile (stalked cell). Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies showed the isolate had a clear affiliation with the class and was most closely related to ATCC 15257 and LMG 24261, showing 97.6 and 97.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively, and 95.3–96.3 % similarity to all other species of the genus . The predominant ubiquinone was Q-10. The major fatty acids were summed feature 8 (Cω6 and/or Cω7) and C. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain H-E3-2 was 64.7 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization values of strain H-E3-2 with ATCC 15257 and LMG 24261 were 21.2 and 19.7 %, respectively. Thus, based on the results of polyphasic analysis, it is proposed that strain H-E3-2 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H-E3-2 ( = KCTC 32211 = JCM 18689).
