sp. nov., a halophilic bacterium isolated from Urmia Lake after the 2015 drought Free

Abstract

A novel, slightly halophilic bacterium, designated TBZ202, was isolated from water of Urmia Lake, in the Azerbaijan region of north-west Iran. The strain was facultatively anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and motile. Colonies were creamy, circular, convex and shiny. It grew at NaCl concentrations of 0–12 % (w/v) (optimum 3–5 % w/v), at temperatures of 20–45 °C (optimum 30 °C) and at pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum pH 7.0). Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain TBZ202 belongs to the genus in the and the most closely related species are CGMCC 1.6133 (98.6 % similarity), Al12 (96.8 %) and RS-16 (96.6%). The G+C content was 67.9 % and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values with were 35.8 and 83.8 %, respectively, indicating that the isolate differs from all species described. The major fatty acids were C 7, C and C 7. The only respiratory quinone detected was Q-9 and polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, aminophospholipid and three unknown phospholipids. On the basis of a polyphasic taxonomic analysis, the isolate is considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TBZ202 (=KCTC 62817=CECT 9693).
