Abstract

A nitrogen-fixing bacterium, designated strain SCSIO N0430, was isolated from a mangrove sediment sample. Analysis of the sequence of the gene responsible for nitrogen fixation in this strain indicated a close relationship to an uncultured bacterium ZNZ-D11 (GenBank accession no. JF896696). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that this isolate had less than 93 % similarity to its closest relative, DQHS4. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SCSIO N0430 was a member of the phylum . Chemotaxonomic and physiological characteristics, including phospholipids and major fatty acids, readily distinguished the isolate from established members of the phylum It is concluded that strain SCSIO N0430 represents a novel genus and species, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain of the species SCSIO N0430 ( = KCTC 32129 = DSM 27148 = JCM 19152). Based on phylogenetic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene signature nucleotide patterns, the three genera , and are proposed to make up a novel family, fam. nov., in the order .
