Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, orange-coloured bacterium, designated YR1-1T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from the Yellow River Delta wetlands (PR China). Growth was observed at a salinity of 1.0–15.0 % NaCl, 4–45 °C and pH 6.0–9.0. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that YR1-1T represented a member of the genus Psychroflexus , with the highest sequence similarity to Psychroflexus sediminis YIM-C238T (97.9 %), followed by Psychroflexus aestuariivivens (97.1 %) and Psychroflexus torquis (96.4 %). The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between YR1-1T and other closely related type strains of species of the genus Psychroflexus were 68.7–86.3% and 17.8–30.9 %. The genome of the strain was 2 899 374 bp in length with 39.8 % DNA G+C content. The predominant fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 (MK-6) and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phospholipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified aminolipids and four unidentified lipids. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data indicate that YR1-1T represents a novel species within the genus Psychroflexus , for which the name Psychroflexus aurantiacus sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is YR1-1T (=KCTC 72794T=CGMCC 1.17458T).
