Abstract

An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod or spiral-shaped diazotrophic bacterium (designated strain CC-LY788), was isolated from agricultural soil in Taiwan. Strain CC-LY788 was able to grow at 25–40 °C, pH 6.0–8.0 and tolerated NaCl to 2.0% (w/v). Positive for nitrogen fixation with the activity recorded as 6.5 nmol ethylene h. Strain CC-LY788 showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to DSM 19922 (97.2%) and DSM 19657 (97.1%) and lower sequence similarities ( < 96.6%) to all other species of the genus . According to the DNA–DNA hybridization, the relatedness values of strain CC-LY788 with DSM 19922 and DSM 19657 were 51.1 ± 5.5% and 46.8 ± 2.1%, respectively. Strain CC-LY788 was positive for the rapid identification of the genus-specific primer set. The respiratory quinone system was ubiquinone (Q-10) and the DNA G+C content was 69.8 mol%. The major fatty acids found in strain CC-LY788 were C, C 2-OH, C 3-OH/C iso I (summed feature 2), Cω7/Cω6 (summed feature 3), C ante/Cω6,9 (summed feature 5) and Cω7/Cω6 (summed feature 8). Based on the phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features, strain CC-LY788 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-LY788 ( = BCRC 80569 = JCM 18820).
