sp. nov., an arsenite-oxidizing Alphaproteobacterium, isolated from metal industry waste soil Free

Abstract

A novel Gram-stain-negative bacterium, strain S-MI1b, belonging to the genus was isolated from a metal industry waste soil sample in Pirangut village, Pune District, Maharashtra, India. Cells were non-spore-forming, small rod-shapes, motile and strictly aerobic with light-pink colonies. The strain grew in 0–7.0 % (w/v) NaCl and at 25–45 °C, with optimal growth at 40 °C. The predominant fatty acids detected were summed feature 8 (C ω7 and/or C ω6) and C cyclo ω8. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was Q-10. The G+C content was 67.2 mol% and DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain S-MI1band DSM 14364 and 5420S-12 were 53.9 and 54.8 %, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, indicated that strain S-MI1b is a member of the genus with greatest sequence similarities of 97.7 and 97.4 % with DSM 14364 and 5420S-12, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain S-MI1b forms a clade with the type strain of DSM 14364, and was readily distinguishable from it due to various phenotypic characteristics. The combination of genotypic and phenotypic data suggests that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S-MI1b (=NCIM-5595=KACC 18792=BCRC 80972).
