sp. nov., isolated from an Antarctic lichen No Access

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, orange-coloured, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterial strain, PAMC 29362, was isolated from an Antarctic lichen, . Phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses indicated that strain PAMC 29362 belongs to the genus and was most closely related to (97.0% of 16S rRNA gene similarity), (96.3 %) (95.3 %) and (95.2 %). Genomic relatedness analyses showed that strain PAMC 29362 is clearly distinguished from type strains of the genus based on values of average nucleotide identity (<74.3 %) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (<20.4 %). The genomic DNA G+C content of PAMC 29362 was 65.5 %. The major fatty acids (>10 %) were summed feature 8 (C 7; 38.5 %) and summed feature 3 (C 7 and/or C 6; 31.5 %). The major respiratory quinone was Q-10. Based on the results of phylogenetic, genome-based relatedness and physiological analyses, strain PAMC 29362 is proposed to represent a novel species of the genus , with the name sp. nov. The type strain is PAMC 29362 (=KCTC 82 578=JCM 34545)
