Abstract

A novel moderately thermophilic aerobic bacterium, strain TP075, was isolated from soil collected from an athletic field in Japan. Strain TP075 is a rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium that forms terminal endospores. The KOH lysis test suggested that the cell wall of the isolate has a Gram-positive structure. For aerobic growth, the optimum pH and temperature were 4.0–5.0 and 47–50 °C, respectively. Draft genome sequencing showed that the G+C content of genomic DNA was 46.5 mol%. Branched-chain fatty acids (iso-C, anteiso-C and iso-C) were the major components of the cellular fatty acid profile. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain TP075 belongs to the family , with the highest similarity to CCUG53762 (92.6%) and CAU11108 (92.5%). Genome-based analyses indicated that strain TP075 and the most closely related strain, DSM 22757, share an average amino acid identity value of 62.57% and an average nucleotide identity value of 70.86 %. The results obtained in this study suggest that strain TP075 represents a novel species of a novel genus, for which we propose the name gen. nov., sp. nov. with type strain TP075 (= JCM 34430=TBRC 15189).
