Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, cocci-shaped, non-spore-forming and moderately halophilic bacterium, designed BZ-SZ-XJ29, was isolated from a salt lake of China. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the closest phylogenetic relatives were 6AG (97.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and five other species of the genus (95.4–96.3 %). However, strain BZ-SZ-XJ29 shared only 89.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with subsp. DSM 10, indicating that this isolate might not be a member of the genus . The genomic DNA G+C content was 40.0 mol% (). The DNA–DNA relatedness value with 6AG was 45±2 %. Strain BZ-SZ-XJ29 formed yellow pigment and grew in the presence of 0.74–4.15 M Na [optimum 1.42–2.10 M Na], at pH 6.0–10.5 (optimum pH 7.5), and at 5–41 °C (optimum 33 °C). The predominant (>10 %) fatty acids were anteiso-C and anteiso-C. The dominant polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol and the respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The peptidoglycan type of the cell wall was A1, based on -diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. On the basis of the combined phylogenetic data, phenotypic features and chemotaxonomic properties, it is proposed that and strain BZ-SZ-XJ29 should be assigned to a single novel genus as two separate species. is reclassified in a new genus, gen. nov., as comb. nov., and is the type species of the new genus; the type strain of the type species is 6AG (=DSM 15402=ATCC BAA-957). Strain BZ-SZ-XJ29 (=DSM 29191=JCM 30193=CGMCC 1.12936) is placed in the genus as a novel species, sp. nov.
