sp. nov., an acetic acid bacterium in the Free

Abstract

Five strains, NBRC 3271, NBRC 3272, NBRC 3263, NBRC 3260 and NBRC 3269 were examined genetically, phylogenetically, phenotypically and chemotaxonomically. The DNA G+C contents of the five strains were 55.1–56.4 mol%. The five strains had low levels of DNA–DNA hybridization of 13–51 % to the type strains of , , , , and and formed a cluster that was separate from the type strains of the six species given above in phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and 16S–23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer sequences. The five strains weakly produced dihydroxyacetone from glycerol, but not 2,5-diketo--gluconate or a water-soluble brown pigment from -glucose and contained ubiquinone-10. The five strains were assigned as representing a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NBRC 3271 (=BCC 14458=strain 7, K. Kondo). Cells of the type strain are motile by means of polar flagella and the DNA G+C content is 56.4 mol%.
