sp. nov., isolated from Lake Chagannor, Inner Mongolia, China Free

Abstract

A novel halophilic archaeon, strain CGSA15, was isolated from water of Lake Chagannor in China. The strain grew optimally at 33–37 °C, pH 9.5–10.0 and 4.0–4.3 M NaCl. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain CGSA15 was 60.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CGSA15 was a member of the genus and was related most closely to AS 1.3528 (96.1 % similarity) and AS 1.3239 (96.9 %). Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain CGSA15 and AS 1.3528 and AS 1.3239 were 36.7 and 28.9 %, respectively. According to the phenotypic and genotypic data presented, strain CGSA15 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CGSA15 (=CGMCC 1.6783 =CECT 7303).
