sp. nov., isolated from hardwood bark No Access

Abstract

During a study on the biodiversity of bacteria that inhabit woody biomass, we isolated a strain coded B40 from hardwood bark used as a compost ingredient in Japan. The strain, characterized as B40, is a Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore-forming and catalase-negative bacterium. This novel isolate showed growth at 30–50 °C, at pH 3.5–7.5 and in the presence of up to 4 % (w/v) NaCl. Its major fatty acids include C, C ω and summed feature 8. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain B40 is 42.2 mol%. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain B40 belongs to the genus and the closest neighbours of strain B40 are 202 (95.7 %), CRBIP 24.76 (95.6 %), DSM 15354 (95.4 %), TV1018 (95.4 %) and ATCC 25258 (95.2 %). The amino acid sequence-based phylogenetic analyses of 489 shared protein-encoding genes showed that the strain forms a phylogenetically independent lineage in the genus but could not be assigned to any known species. Strain B40 has an average nucleotide identify of <70.2 % and a digital DNA–DNA hybridization value of 19.2 % compared with the strains of other closely related species. Differential genomic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties, in addition to phylogenetic analyses, indicated that strain B40 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The strain type is B40 (=JCM 32597=DSM 107967).
