Abstract

A novel bacterial strain designated P-1 was isolated from the trunk surface of a Japanese oak () growing in the Shirakami Mountains in Japan. Cells of strain P-1 were Gram-stain-negative, ellipsoidal endospore-forming, aerobic, slightly acidophilic rods, 0.8×2–5 µm, and motile by means of peritrichous flagella. Various carbohydrates could be used as growth substrates, but none of the organic acids tested were used. The major cellular fatty acid was anteiso-C, which accounted for 64.2 % of the total fatty acids. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). Strain P-1 contained phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, four unidentified aminolipids, an unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified polar lipids. Strain P-1 shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with S22 (96.6 %), followed by JCM 9905 (96.1 %) and MH21 (95.9 %). The DNA G+C content was 43.9 mol%. These data indicate that strain P-1 represents a novel species within the genus , for which we propose the name sp. nov. The type strain is P-1 (NBRC 109471 = DSM 26806 = KCTC 33126 = CIP 110571).
