Abstract

During a study of oil-degrading bacteria, three yellow-coloured, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped bacteria, designated strains Ktm-14, Ktm-17 and Ktm-18, were isolated from oil-contaminated soil of Biratnagar, Morang, Nepal. The strains were able to grow at 15–37 °C, pH 4.5–10.0 and 0–2 % (w/v) NaCl concentration. Strains Ktm-14, Ktm-17 and Ktm-18 were characterized by multiple taxonomic approaches. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strains Ktm-14, Ktm-17 and Ktm-18 belonged to the genus and shared highest sequence similarity with Gsoil 250 (98.94 %). The only respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 and the predominant polyamine was spermidine. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine and sphingoglycolipids. The predominant fatty acids were Cω6, summed feature 8 (Cω7 and/or Cω6), summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6) and C. The DNA G+C content values of strains Ktm-14, Ktm-17 and Ktm-18 were 65.8, 65.9 and 65.6 mol%, respectively. The DNA–DNA relatedness between Ktm-14 and Ktm-17 and Ktm-18 were higher than 70 % but with closely related reference strains were less than 40 %. The morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses clearly distinguished strain Ktm-14 from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. Thus, strain Ktm-14 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Ktm-14 (=KEMB 9005-694=KACC 19389=JCM 32250), and strains Ktm-17 and Ktm-18 represent two additional strains.
