Abstract

A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and short-rod-shaped bacterium, designated RP18, was isolated from forest soil in Gwang-ju, Republic of Korea. Growth occurred at 15–30 °C (optimum 30 °C), pH 6.0–7.0 (optimum pH 7.0), and was inhibited in the presence of normal saline. According to the 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain RP18 showed the highest sequence similarity to THG-DT81 (96.0 %), followed by EDIV (95.4 %) and DS-4 (95.2 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain RP18 was clustered with 9PNM-6 and MS-31 under the genus . The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain RP18 was 61.5 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids (>6 % of the total) were C, C 2-OH, Cω6, summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6) and summed feature 8 (Cω7 and/or Cω6). Ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) and -homospermidine were detected as the predominant respiratory quinone and major compound in the polyamine pattern, respectively. The major polar lipids of the isolate consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phospholipid and sphingoglycolipid. Based on phylogenetic analysis and physiological and biochemical characterization, strain RP18 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RP18 (=KACC 18914=JCM 31801).
