gen. nov., sp. nov., an alphaproteobacterium isolated from ultrapure water of the water purification system of a power plant Free

Abstract

Strains of a novel alphaproteobacterium were isolated from ultrapure water of a Hungarian power plant on a newly developed medium. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the novel strains showed that these bacteria belong to a distinct lineage far from any known taxa. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, strains PI_31, PI_25 and PI_21 exhibited the highest sequence similarity to AMX51 (93.43 %) and DSM 9653 (93.36 %); similarity to all other taxa was less than 93.23 %. Fatty acid profiles, matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectra of cell extracts as well as physiological and biochemical characteristics indicated that our strains represent a novel genus and species within the class . The major isoprenoid quinone of the strains was Q-10, the major cellular fatty acids were Cω7 and 11-methyl Cω7 and the polar lipid profiles of the strains contained phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and several unknown phospholipids and other lipids. The characteristic diamino acid in their cell wall was -diaminopimelic acid. The G+C content of DNA of the proposed type strain PI_21 was 68.9 mol%. A new genus and species, gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate the strains. Strain PI_21 ( = DSM 25521 = NCAIM B 02510) is the type strain of .
