Abstract

A bacterial strain, designated STM-7, was isolated from a spring in Taiwan and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Cells of strain STM-7 were Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, poly-β-hydroxybutyrate-accumulating, motile by a single polar flagellum, rod-shaped, surrounded by a thick capsule and formed milky-white colonies. Growth occurred at 15–37 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C), at pH 6–8 (optimum, pH 6–7) and with 0–2 % NaCl (optimum, 0–1 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain STM-7 belonged to the genus and was most closely related to S1 with a sequence similarity of 97.3 %. Strain STM-7 contained summed feature 3 (comprising C 7 and/or C 6) and C as the predominant fatty acids. The major hydroxyl fatty acids were C 3-OH and C 3-OH. The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, an uncharacterized aminophospholipid, an uncharacterized glycolipid and an uncharacterized phospholipid. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 52.4 mol%. The DNA–DNA hybridization value for strain STM-7 with BCRC 17254 was less than 47 %. On the basis of the phylogenetic inference and phenotypic data, strain STM-7 should be classified as a representative of a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is STM-7 (=BCRC 80923=LMG 29289=KCTC 42982).
