sp. nov., an alphaproteobacterium isolated from soil Free

Abstract

An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, pink-pigmented bacterium designated strain R491 was isolated from soil. Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain R491 formed a lineage within the family of the phylum that was distinct from various species of the genus , including 5420S-16 (97.83 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), WSM3693 (97.76 %), ATCC BAA-817 (97.41 %), and Lut6, DSM 14364, BR3299, and 25B (96.99 %). The major polar lipids of strain R491 were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (Cω7 and/or Cω6; 71.2 %), C (12.0 %), summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6; 4.7 %), and C (4.2 %). The DNA G+C content of strain R491 was 61.8 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain R491 and other members of the genus ranged from 27 to 57 %. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strain R491 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R491 (=KEMB 9005-408=KACC 18969=NBRC 112417).
