Abstract

A rod-shaped, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and aerobic bacterium, designated Q8-18, was isolated from soil of glacier foreland in Austre Lovénbreen, Arctic, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain Q8-18 grew optimally at 20 °C, pH 5.0–8.0 and in the presence of 0–1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain Q8-18 belonged to the family . Strain Q8-18 showed the highest sequence similarity to CCM 8685 (96.8%), CCM 8691 (96.8%), CL-GP80 (96.7%), E01020 (96.7%), DSM 19624 (96.6%), THG-DR3 (96.3%), DCY49 (95.9%) and CCM 8689 (95.9%). A whole genome-level comparison of strain Q8-18 with CL-GP80, E01020, DSM 19624 and LMG 10339 revealed average nucleotide identity values of 77.0, 76.0, 77.0 and 70.4%, respectively. The only respiratory isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone-7. The polar lipid profile of strain Q8-18 was found to contain one phosphatidylethanolamine, eight unidentified aminolipids, one aminophospholipids and five unidentified lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was determined to be 35.4 mol%. The main fatty acids were summed feature 3 (comprising C 7 and/or C 6), iso-C and anteiso-C. On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, a novel species of the genus , sp. nov., is proposed, with the type strain Q8-18 (=CCTCC AB 2020009=KCTC 82636).
