Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, facultatively aerobic, cream-coloured, ovoid-shaped, non-motile and psychrotolerant bacterial strain, PAMC 27389, was isolated from terrestrial soil collected on King George Island, Antarctica. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain PAMC 27389 belongs to the genus , sharing highest similarities with the type strains of (96.9 %), (96.8 %), (96.5 %) and (95.4 %). Average nucleotide identity values between strain PAMC 27389 and the type strains of , , and were 70.8, 70.9, 71.0 and 70.5 %, respectively and the genome-to-genome distances were 18.4–19.1 %, indicating PAMC 27389 is clearly distinguished from the most closely related species. The genomic DNA G+C content was 60.1 mol%. Strain PAMC 27389 grew at 0–37 °C (optimally at 15–20 °C), at pH 5.5–9.0 (optimally at pH 6.5–7.0) and in the presence of 0.5–3.0 % (w/v) sea salt (optimally with 0.5 %). It lacked bacteriochlorophyll . The major fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 8 (Cω7 and/or Cω6) and Cω7 11-methyl. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified lipid and three unidentified aminophospholipids. The major respiratory quinone was Q-10. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genomic data presented, we propose the name sp. nov. with the type strain PAMC 27389 ( = KCTC 42640 = JCM 30764).
