Abstract

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, cream–yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, IP-10, was isolated from soil samples from a waste site highly contaminated with hexachlorocyclohexane in Ummari village, India. The organism showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 92.7 % with KCTC 12542 and levels of 87–92 % with the type strains of other recognized species of the genus . The DNA G+C content of strain IP-10 was 31 mol%. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C (22.1 %), iso-C 3-OH (18.5 %) and summed feature 3 (comprising C 7 and/or iso-C 2-OH; 13.2 %). Strain IP-10 could be differentiated from recognized species of the genus based on a number of phenotypic features. Strain IP-10 is therefore considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IP-10 (=MTCC 8597=CCM 7424).
