sp. nov., isolated from a hexachlorocyclohexane-contaminated soil Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, pinkish-red, rod-shaped bacterium designated strain NKM1 was isolated from soil samples contaminated with hexachlorocyclohexane isomers, collected from Ummari village, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. The strain was characterized by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain NKM1 clustered exclusively with members of the genus of the family , phylum The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to type strains of the genus ranged from 96.7 to 93.8 %, with the highest sequence similarity found with JC130 (96.7 %). Cells of strain NKM1 were aerobic, non-flagellated and non-motile. Strain NKM1 was catalase- and oxidase-positive but negative for nitrate reduction and hydrolysis of gelatin. The major fatty acids in strain NKM1 were anteiso-C, iso-C, C, Cω9 and summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6). The polar lipid profile of strain NKM1 showed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine and unknown glycolipids as well as aminolipids. Homospermidine was found to be the major polyamine and menaquinone 7 (MK-7) was the major respiratory quinone. The DNA G+C content of strain NKM1 was determined to be 58.6 mol%. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, physiological and biochemical evidence, it is proposed that isolate NKM1 represents a novel species that belongs to the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NKM1 ( = DSM 100161 = KCTC 42944 = MCC 2777).
