sp. nov., a novel member of the family Free

Abstract

A bacterial strain, 17J42-9, was isolated from a soil sample collected on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Cells were observed to be Gram-stain negative and rod-shaped. Colonies were observed to be orange in colour on R2A agar. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that high levels of 16S rRNA sequence similarity were shared between 17J42-9 and IMCC1731 (98.2 %), Gsoil 085 (98.2 %) and ZZ-4 (97.8 %). Growth of strain 17J42-9 was observed at 10–37 °C, pH 6.0–8.5 and in the presence of 0–0.5 % NaCl. The genomic G+C content was calculated to be 38.6 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone of the isolate was found to be MK-7; the major fatty acids were identified as summed feature 3 (C 7 and/or C 6) (34.1 %), Ciso (23.4 %) and Ciso 3-OH (10.8 %). The major polar lipids were found to be phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids and an unidentified lipid. The phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data support the affiliation of strain 17J42-9 with the genus . However, the DNA–DNA relatedness between the isolate and its closest phylogenetic neighbours was lower than 46 %. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization analysis and the observed differentiating phenotypic properties from other closely related taxa clearly indicate that strain 17J42-9 represents a novel species in the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 17J42-9 (=KCTC 62270=JCM 33056).
