gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel genus of the family , isolated from the gut of plastic-eating larvae of the Coleoptera insect Free

Abstract

A bacterial strain, BIT-B35, was isolated from the gut of plastic-eating larvae of the Coleoptera insect . Its taxonomic position was determined by using a polyphasic approach. Cells were white-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, motile short rods with terminal flagella. The 16S rRNA gene sequence (1411 bp) of strain BIT-B35 showed highest similarity (98.1%) to ATCC 35469 and LMG 5519. The results of phylogenetic analyses, based on the 16S rRNA gene, concatenated sequences of seven housekeeping genes (, , , , , and ) and genome sequences, placed strain BIT-B35 in a separate lineage among the family of . The major fatty acids were C, C cyclo and C cyclo 8. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain BIT-B35 was 57.1 mol%. The chemotaxonomic data plus results of physiological and biochemical tests also distinguished strain BIT-B35 from members of other genera within the family . Therefore, strain BIT-B35 is considered to represent a novel species of a novel genus within the family , for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BIT-B35 (=CGMCC 1.17042=KCTC 72448).
