Abstract

A Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, motile, spore-forming bacterium, designated Gsoil 1411, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field in Pocheon Province (South Korea) and was characterized using a polyphasic approach. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain Gsoil 1411 belongs to the family , with closest sequence similarity to the type strains of (95.7 %), (95.2 %) and (94.8 %). Strain Gsoil 1411 showed less than 94 % sequence similarity to the type strains of other recognized members of the genus . In addition, the presence of MK-7 as the major menaquinone, anteiso-C as a major fatty acid (44.8 %) and the presence of PAEN513F and PAEN862F signature sequences suggest that it is affiliated to the genus . The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 53.9 mol%. On the basis of its phenotypic characteristics and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Gsoil 1411 is suggested to represent a novel species within the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Gsoil 1411 (=KCTC 13020=LMG 23405).
