Abstract

Strain NHI-1 is a Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming bacterium isolated from oil-contaminated soil in South Korea. The strain was able to grow by using gasoline, diesel and kerosene as energy and carbon sources. After incubation for 14 days, cells (1 g l) degraded approximately 58 % of oil present at concentration of 1500 p.p.m. at pH 8 and 28 °C. Strain NHI-1 grew well under aerobic conditions, with optimal growth at pH 7–9 and 28 °C–37 °C but grew poorly in the presence of ≥ 0.5 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the closest relatives of strain NHI-1 were CS-6 (97.96 % sequence similarity), B6 (96.39 %), B8 (95.76 %), ABP-4 (95.72 %) and B4 (95.25 %). DNA–DNA relatedness was 41–53 % between strain NHI-1 and its closest type strains. The major fatty acids present in strain NHI-1 were summed feature 3 (Cω7/Cω6, 44.5 %), summed feature 8 (Cω7/Cω6, 21.5 %) and C (16.2 %), and the predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, diphosphatidylglycerol and uncharacterized aminophospholipids. Strain NHI-1 was distinguishable from other members of genus based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic characteristics. Therefore, strain NHI-1 represents a novel species of the genus for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NHI-1 ( = KEMB 9005-082 =  KACC 18244 = NBRC 110486).
