Abstract

Two Gram-positive, non-motile, yellow-pigmented, slightly curved and rod-shaped bacterial strains, UMS-62 and UMS-101, were isolated from the rhizosphere of var. , a variety of wild edible greens grown on Ulleung island, Korea. The taxonomic position of the strains was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Strains UMS-62 and UMS-101 grew optimally at 30 °C and at pH 6.5–7.5. The novel strains contained MK-11 and MK-12 as the predominant menaquinones and rhamnose, ribose and galactose as the major cell-wall sugars. The major cellular fatty acids (>10 % of the total fatty acids) were anteiso-C, iso-C and anteiso-C. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid. The DNA G+C contents were 71.1–71.3 mol%. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains UMS-62 and UMS-101 belong to the genus . Strains UMS-62 and UMS-101 showed a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 99.9 % and a mean DNA–DNA relatedness level of 91.1 %. Similarity values between the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the two novel strains and the type strains of recognized species ranged from 95.2 to 99.1 %. The levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between the two novel strains and the type strains of five phylogenetically related species were in the range of 13.4 to 54.2 %. On the basis of phenotypic properties, phylogenetic distinctiveness and genetic data, strain UMS-62 (=KCTC 19181=JCM 13584) and strain UMS-101 are classified as representing a novel species in the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed.
