Abstract

A novel strain, designated W-15, was isolated from the gut of a long-horned beetle, , collected in South Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strains belonged to the suborder . Strain W-15 was most closely related to RI148-Li105 (97.9 % similarity). Strain W-15 was Gram-stain-positive, rod- and coccus-shaped and non-motile. Growth was observed at 15–37 °C, at pH 4.5–8.5 and in the presence of 0–5.0 % NaCl. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of the strain was A4α (-Lys–-Ser–-Asp). The major menaquinone present in this strain was MK-8 (H) and the major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C, iso-C, iso-C and anteiso-C. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, an unknown lipid, an unknown phospholipid and an unknown phosphoglycolipid. The G+C content of genomic DNA of the strain was 73.8 mol%. On the basis of evidence from our polyphasic taxonomic study, strain W-15 is classified as representing a novel species in the suborder , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of this species is strain W-15 ( = KCTC 19882 = JCM 18090).
