Abstract

A novel halophilic archaeon designated strain CBA1114 was isolated from solar salt in the Republic of Korea. Strain CBA1114, cells of which were coccoid and Gram-stain-negative, grew in the presence of 15–30 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 20 %) and at 20–50 °C (optimum, 40 °C) and pH 7.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 8.0). Strain CBA1114 required Mg for growth. Strain CBA1114 had three 16S rRNA genes, , and ; levels of similarity between the sequences were 99.7–99.9 %. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CBA1114 showed 91.7 % similarity to that of PR5. In multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA), five housekeeping genes, and , were found to be closely related to those of the members of the genera (89.7 % similarity of the gene sequence), (91.9 %, ), (85.4 %, ), (89.2 %, ) and (75.7 %, ). A phylogenetic tree generated from the results of MLSA of the five housekeeping genes showed that strain CBA1114 was closely related to species of the genus in the family . The major polar lipids were identified as phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester and unidentified lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain CBA1114 was 68.1 mol%. According to the results of phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, we designate strain CBA1114 (=JCM 30111=KCTC 4206) as the type strain of gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel species of a new genus within the family .
