Abstract

Between 2014 and 2016, 16 Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and yellow-orange pigmented bacteria were isolated from exposed soils from the Utsteinen region, Sør Rondane Mountains, East Antarctica. Analysis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strains form a separate cluster in the genus , with KCTC 12531 as its closest neighbour (97.8 % sequence similarity). Comparative genome analysis of two representative strains (i.e. R-68523 and R-68079) of the new group with the type strains of (its closest neighbour) and (type species of the genus), yielded average nucleotide identity values of 73.9–78.7 %. Digital DNA–DNA reassociation values of the two strains and these type strains ranged from 20.3 to 22.0 %. The predominant cellular fatty acids of the two novel strains were summed feature 3 (i.e. C 7 and/or iso-C 2-OH), C 5, C and iso-C. The new strains grew with 0–0.5 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 6.5–8.0 and displayed optimum growth between 15 and 25 °C. Based on the results of phenotypic, genomic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic analyses, the new strains represent a novel species of the genus for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R-68523 (=LMG 31447=CECT 9925).
