Abstract
Twelve Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, rod-shaped and motile strains (CY7WT, CY18WT, CY22WT, FT31WT, FT137WT, FT147WT, BYS50W, BYS107WT, LFS511WT, LX15WT, LX22WT and NL8WT) were isolated from streams in China. Comparisons based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains take species of genus Undibacterium as close neighbours. The reconstructed phylogenetic and phylogenomic trees also showed that these strains cluster with species of genus Undibacterium together. The genome G+C contents of these strains were in the range of 45.3 to 53.3 mol%. The calculated pairwise OrthoANIu values and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values among these strains and related strains were in the range of 70.4 to 94.1% and 19.3 to 55.3% except that the values between strains CY7WT and BYS50W were 99.0 and 91.8 %, respectively. Q-8 was their predominant respiratory quinone. C16 : 1 ω7c and C16 : 0 were their major fatty acids. Their polar lipids profiles were similar, including phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phospholipid and two kinds of unidentified aminolipids. Combining polyphasic taxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic relationships, twelve strains should represent eleven independent novel species of genus Undibacterium , for which the names Undibacterium baiyunense sp. nov. (type strain BYS107WT=GDMCC 1.2453T=KCTC 82653T), Undibacterium curvum sp. nov. (type strain CY22WT=GDMCC 1.1906T=KACC 21951T), Undibacterium fentianense sp. nov. (type strain FT137WT=GDMCC 1.2456T=KCTC 82656T), Undibacterium flavidum sp. nov. (type strain LX15WT=GDMCC 1.1910T=JCM 34286T), Undibacterium griseum sp. nov. (type strain FT31WT=GDMCC 1.1908T=KACC 21953T), Undibacterium hunanense sp. nov. (type strain CY18WT=GDMCC 1.1904T=KACC 21949T), Undibacterium luofuense sp. nov. (type strain LFS511WT=GDMCC 1.2458T=KCTC 82658T), Undibacterium nitidum sp. nov. (type strain LX22WT=GDMCC 1.1912T=KACC 21957T), Undibacterium rivi sp. nov. (type strain FT147WT=GDMCC 1.2457T=KCTC 82657T), Undibacterium rugosum sp. nov. (type strain CY7WT=GDMCC 1.1903T=KACC 21961T) and Undibacterium umbellatum sp. nov. (type strain NL8WT=GDMCC 1.1915T=KACC 21960T) are proposed.
