Abstract

A light yellow-coloured, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain K-3-6, capable of degrading aliphatic hydrocarbons was isolated from oil-contaminated soil of Biratnagar, Morang, Nepal. It was able to grow at 15–45 °C, at pH 5.0–9.5 and with 0–6 % (w/v) NaCl. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain K-3-6 belongs to the genus and is closely related to IMMIB HF-1 (98.4 % similarity), NBRC 16140 (98.3 %), CC-FH12-1 (97.9 %), DS20 (97.9 %), NBRC 102518 (97.2 %), SC_3 (97.2 %) and Chen16-4 (97.0 %). The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 and the major polyamine was spermidine. The polar lipid profile revealed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, sphingoglycolipid and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine. The predominant fatty acids of strain K-3-6 were summed feature 8 (Cω7 and/or Cω6), summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6), C, C and C 2-OH. The genomic DNA G+C content was 65.6 mol%. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain K-3-6 and IMMIB HF-1, NBRC 16140, DS20, CC-FH12-1, NBRC 102518 and Chen16-4 were 34.0, 33.3, 28.7, 26.3, 29.0 and 22.3 %, respectively. The morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses clearly distinguished this strain from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. Thus, strain K-3-6 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is K-3-6 (=KEMB 9005-449=KACC 19001=JCM 31713).
