Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, yellow, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain HQQ, was isolated from a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Hebei Province, PR China. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that strain HQQ is a member of the genus and is closely related to ‘’ CCTCC AB 2014079 (94.8 %) and DSM 22219 (94.7 %). Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain HQQ clustered with JCM 18212 and KCTC 23915. The polar lipid profile of strain HQQ revealed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine, six unknown aminolipids, one unknown glycolipid and one unknown lipid and the only isoprenoid quinone was MK-6. The dominant fatty acids of strain HQQ were iso-C, C and Cω7. The DNA G+C content of strain HQQ is 32 mol%. On the basis of the phylogenetic and phenotypic data, strain HQQ represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HQQ ( = CGMCC 1.15347 = KCTC 42935).
