Abstract

A Gram-negative bacterium, designated strain EMB71, was isolated from activated sludge used for enhanced biological phosphorus removal in a sequencing batch reactor. The cells of the isolate were facultatively aerobic, motile rods with single polar flagella. Growth was observed to occur at 15–35 °C (optimally at 30 °C) and at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimally at pH 7.0–8.0). The predominant fatty acids of strain EMB71 were C and summed feature 3 (C 7 and/or iso-C 2-OH), and the polar lipids comprised a large amount of phosphatidylethanolamine and a small amount of diphosphatidylglycerol. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 61.6 mol % and the major quinone was Q-8. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that strain EMB71 formed a phyletic lineage with the genus within the family . The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with respect to the type strains of species ranged from 95.1 to 96.9 %. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular data, strain EMB71 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EMB71 (=KCTC 12613=DSM 17962).
