Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, short rod-shaped and motile, mildly halotolerant, endospore-forming bacterium, FJAT-13985, was isolated from the internal tissues of root. Strain FJAT-13985 grew at 20–45 °C (optimum 30 °C) and pH 5.7–9.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0–2 % (w/v) NaCl [optimum 1 % (w/v)]. The strain was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The cell wall of strain FJAT-13985 contained -diaminopimelic acid and the predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 (97.4 %). The major fatty acids of the strain were anteiso-C (23.3 %) and iso-C (40.8 %). The DNA G+C content was 41.64 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain FJAT-13985 is a member of the genus and is most closely related to DSM 15600 (98.4 %), DSM 15602 (98.2 %) and DSM 15603 (98.3 %). DNA–DNA hybridization indicated that relatedness between strain FJAT-13985 and its closest relative, DSM 15600, was 36.63 %. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic properties clearly indicate that strain FJAT-13985 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FJAT-13985 ( = DSM 25968 = CGMCC1.12238).
