sp. nov., isolated from biogas slurry, and emended description of the genus Free

Abstract

A novel facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated strain LAM0618, was isolated from biogas slurry samples collected from the large-scale anaerobic digester of Modern Farming Corporation in Hebei Province, China. Cells of strain LAM0618 were Gram-stain-positive, motile, non-spore-forming and short-rod-shaped. The optimal temperature and pH for growth were 30 °C and 7.0, respectively. The strain did not require NaCl for growth but tolerated up to 70 g NaCl l. The major fatty acids of strain LAM0618 were iso-C, anteiso-C, iso-C, C and C. The predominant menaquinones of strain LAM0618 were menaquinone 7 (MK-7) and menaquinone 6 (MK-6). The main polar lipids of strain LAM0618 were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and six unknown glycolipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 41 mol% as determined by the method. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain LAM0618 was a member of the genus , and was most closely related to ‘ ’ DSM 24639, DSM 20580, DSM 20636 and DSM 4747, with 96.9, 95.7, 95.6 and 94.9 % sequence similarity, respectively. Based on its phenotypic and genotypic properties, strain LAM0618 is suggested to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LAM0618 ( = ACCC 06121 = JCM 19187).
