sp. nov., isolated from (Lep., Thaumetopoeidae) Free

Abstract

A bacterium (strain Tp2) was isolated from a caterpillar of the pine processionary moth, (Den. & Schiff.) (Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae), a destructive pine forest pest. The bacterium is a Gram-stain-positive, red-pigmented coccus, oxidase-negative, nitrate-reducing, non-motile and non-spore-forming. Strain Tp2 was subjected to a taxonomic study using polyphasic approach that included morphological and biochemical characterizations, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, DNA G+C content analysis, comparative fatty acid profiles, and analyses of quinones and polar lipids. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain Tp2 revealed that DSM 20550 was the closest known strain (98 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). DNA–DNA hybridization of DSM 20550 and strain Tp2 resulted in a DNA–DNA relatedness value of 11.9 % (20.2 % reciprocal). The DNA base composition of strain Tp2 was 69.5 mol%, which is consistent with the other recognized members of that have a high G+C content in their genome. The polar lipid pattern of strain Tp2 consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol (major), phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol and unknown glycolipids. The cellular fatty acids were anteiso C and anteiso C and the major menaquinone was MK-9(II-H). The peptidoglycan type was A3α with an -Lys–-Thr–-Ala interpeptide bridge. The above-mentioned characterization qualifies strain Tp2 as genotypically and phenotypically distinct from closely related species of the genus with validly published names. Strain Tp2 is therefore proposed to represent a novel species of the genus , described as sp. nov. The type strain is Tp2 ( = DSM 21719 = NCCB 100254).
