Abstract

A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-endospore-forming, non-pigmented, rod-shaped, slightly halophilic bacterium, designated GBPy5, was isolated from aquatic plants of the Gomishan wetland, Iran. Cells of strain GBPy5 were motile. Growth occurred with between 1 and 10 % (w/v) NaCl and the isolate grew optimally with 3 % (w/v) NaCl. The optimum pH and temperature for growth of the strain were pH 8.0 and 30 °C, respectively, while it was able to grow over a pH range of 6.5–9.0 and a temperature range of 4–35 °C. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, revealed that strain GBPy5 is a member of the genus forming a monophyletic branch. The novel strain exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 95.4 % with type strains of PCAVU11 and J64, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids of the isolate were Cω7 (37.8 %), C (14.9 %), Cω7 (12.9 %), C 3-OH (7.1 %) and C (7.0 %). The polar lipid pattern of strain GBPy5 comprised phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and one phospholipid. Ubiquinone 9 (Q-9) was the predominant lipoquinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain GBPy5 was 59.2 mol%. On the basis of the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain GBPY5 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GBPy5 ( = IBRC-M 10762 = CECT 8338).
