sp. nov., isolated from an air sample Free

Abstract

A novel aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, designated strain 5516S-11, was isolated from air samples collected in the Suwon region of the Republic of Korea. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the organism belongs to the genus ; the highest sequence similarity (97.2 %) was found with respect to DSM 18055. Cells of strain 5516S-11 contained ubiquinone Q-8 as the predominant isoprenoid quinone and possessed summed feature 3 (C 7/iso-C 2-OH; 35.2 %), C (30.6 %) and C 7 (11.7 %) as the major fatty acids. DNA–DNA hybridization revealed 32 % relatedness between strain 5516S-11 and DSM 18055. The G+C content of the DNA of strain 5516S-11 was 68.9 mol%. It is clear from the genotypic and phenotypic data presented that strain 5516S-11 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5516S-11 (=KACC 12505 =DSM 19289).
