sp. nov., isolated from pebbles Free

Abstract

Strain JC267 was isolated from pebbles collected from Pingleshwar beach, Gujarat, India. Cells are Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile rods forming sub-terminal endospores in swollen ellipsoidal to oval sporangia. Strain JC267 contains anteiso-C, iso-C, iso-C, iso-C C and anteiso-C as major (>5 %) cellular fatty acids. Polar lipids include phosphatidylglycerol, phospholipids (PL1–3), glycolipids (GL1–2) and an unidentified lipid. Cell-wall amino acids are composed of diagnostic -diaminopimelic acid, -alanine and a small amount of -glutamic acid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain JC267 is 45.5 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain JC267 showed highest sequence similarities of < 98.41 % with all species of the genus when subjected to EzTaxon-e analysis. The reassociation values based on DNA–DNA hybridization of strain JC267 with IBRC-M 10095 and JCM 16399 were 26 ± 1 % and 34 ± 3 %, respectively. Based on taxonomic data obtained using a polyphasic approach, strain JC267 represents a novel species of the genus for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC267 ( = IBRC-M 10914 = KCTC 33579).
