sp. nov., isolated from Saudi Arabian desert soil Free

Abstract

A novel strain was isolated from a sample of desert soil collected near Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. A polyphasic approach was performed to characterize this strain, initially designated as G39. Cells of strain G39 are motile, Gram-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive. The strain is able to grow aerobically at 20–35 °C, pH 6.5–8 and tolerates up to 4 % (w/v) NaCl. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the closest relative type strains of G39 are DSM 17494 (98.6 %), DSM 21029 (98.4 %) and DSM 23329 (97.4 %). Furthermore, the average nucleotide identities between the draft genome sequence of strain G39 and the genome sequences of all other available and related species are significantly below the threshold of 94 %. The G+C content of the draft genome (3.12 Mbp) is 65.84 %. The prevalent (>5 %) cellular fatty acids of G39 were C 7, C 7 and/or C 6, C 2-OH and C. The only detectable respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 and the polar lipids profile is composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingoglycolipid, as well as unidentified lipids, phospholipids and glycolipids. The results of the conducted polyphasic approach confirmed that this isolate represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of this species is G39 (=DSM 103790=LMG 29955).
