sp. nov isolated from a peat bog Open Access

Abstract

A fast-growing, non-chromogenic, acid-fast-staining bacterium (DL90) was isolated from a peat bog in northern Minnesota. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (99.8 % identity with and 98 % with ) and chemotaxonomic data (fatty acid content), strain DL90 represents a member of the genus . Physiological tests (growth curves, biofilm formation, antibiotic sensitivity, colony morphologies and heat tolerance) and biochemical analysis (arylsulfatase activity and fatty acid profiles) distinguish DL90 from its closest relative . Phylogenomic reconstruction of the ‘’ clade, digital DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) values of 61 %, and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of approximately 95 % indicate that DL90 is likely to be diverged from . Thus, we propose that DL90 represents a novel species, given the name with the type strain being isolate DL90 (=JCM 32796=NCCB 100660).
