A1 Zheng, Bang-Xiao A1 Su, Jian-Qiang A1 Zhu, Yong-GuanYR 2018 T1 Propionicimonas ferrireducens sp. nov., isolated from dissimilatory iron(III)-reducing microbial enrichment obtained from paddy soil JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 68 IS 6 SP 1914 OP 1918 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002766 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A novel strain, designated Y1A-10 4-9-1T, with Gram-stain-positive and rod-shaped cells, was isolated from paddy soil in Yingtan, Jiangxi, China. Cells were 0.15–0.2 µm wide and 1.5–3.3 µm long. The optimal growth temperature was 30 °C and the optimal pH was 7.0. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the novel strain is closely related to Propionicimonas paludicola JCM 11933T (98.57 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 63.9 mol%. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4) and meso-diaminopimelic acid was present in the cell-wall peptidoglycan layer. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified lipids. The dominant cellular fatty acids detected were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The phylogenetic and phenotypic results supported that strain Y1A-10 4-9-1T is a novel species of the genus Propionicimonas , for which the name Propionicimonas ferrireducens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Y1A-10 4-9-1T (=CCTCC AB 2016249T=KCTC 15566T=LMG 29810T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002766
