Abstract

Strain B538 is a Gram-positive, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, which was isolated from Xinjiang province in China. This organism grew optimally at 30–35 °C and pH 8.0–8.5. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain B538 belonged to the genus and chemotaxonomic data (DNA G+C content, 47.0 mol%; major isoprenoid quinone, MK-7; cell wall type, A1 -diaminopimelic acid; major fatty acids, anteiso-C and C) supported affiliation of the isolate with the genus . Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that the isolate was most closely related to DS-1, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.1 %; sequence similarities to other members of the genus used in the phylogenetic tree were less than 96.5 %. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain B538 and DS-1 was about 8.0 %. On the basis of physiological and molecular properties, strain B538 (=KCTC 3952=DSM 16970) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species within the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed.
