Abstract

Following the exposure of a biofilm sample from a hydrothermal spring cave (Gellért Hill, Budapest, Hungary) to gamma radiation, a strain designated FeSTC15-38 was isolated and studied by polyphasic taxonomic methods. The spherical-shaped cells stained Gram-negative, and were aerobic and non-motile. The pH range for growth was pH 6.0–9.0, with an optimum at pH 7.0. The temperature range for growth was 20–37 °C, with an optimum at 28 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate indicated that the organism belongs to the genus . The highest sequence similarities appeared with KR-140 (94.1 %), PB314 (93.3 %) and 5516T-11 (92.7 %). The DNA G+C content of the novel strain was 68.2 mol%. The predominant fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C and Cω7, and the cell-wall peptidoglycan type was A3β -Orn–Gly, corroborating the assignment of the strain to the genus . Strain FeSTC15-38 contained MK-8 as the major menaquinone and several unidentified phospholipids, glycolipids and phosphoglycolipids. Resistance to gamma radiation (D) of strain FeSTC15-38 was <3.0 kGy. According to phenotypic and genotypic data, strain FeSTC15-38 represents a novel species for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FeSTC15-38 (=NCAIM B.02630=DSM 101791).
