Abstract

A non-spore-forming, Gram-stain-positive, short rod-shaped strain, designated SJQ22, was isolated from a paddy soil sample collected in Shanghai, PR China. A comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SJQ22 fell within the genus , forming a clear cluster with the type strains of (98.6 % sequence similarity) and (98.5 % sequence similarity). Strain SJQ22 grew at 30–45 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and with a NaCl concentration of 0–4 % (optimum, 1 %). Cells were negative for oxidase and catalase activity. Chemotaxonomic analysis showed that strain SJQ22 possessed C and C ω9 as the predominant fatty acids. The DNA G + C content was 39.0 mol%. Strain SJQ22 exhibited DNA–DNA relatedness levels of 13±2 % with ATCC 11563 and 9±2 % with IFO 12173. Based on the data obtained, strain SJQ22 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SJQ22 (=JCM 33111=CCTCC AB 2018283).
