Abstract

A novel alkaliphilic, Gram-stain-positive, moderately halophilic, rod-shaped, endospore-forming, motile, facultatively anaerobic bacterium (DQ-9) was isolated from a sediment sample collected from Daqing oilfield in China, and characterized by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain DQ-9 formed yellow pigment and grew occurred at salinities of 1–12 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 8 %) and at 10–40 °C (optimum, 30–35 °C), at pH 7.5–10.5 (optimum, pH 9.0–9.5). It was catalase-positive, but oxidase-negative. Based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences, DQ-9 was classified into the genus and exhibited the highest similarities (98.37 %) to JSM 071004. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain DQ-9 and the most closely related strain, DSM 19794, were determined to be 72.0 and 21.6 %, respectively. The polar lipids were constituted by diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major fatty acids (>5 %) comprised anteiso-C, anteiso-C, iso-C, iso-C and C. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained -diaminopimelic acid, and menaquinone-7 was identified as the primary respiratory quinone. The DNA G+C content was 37.5 mol%. Through chemotaxonomic, physiological, and biochemical characterization, strain DQ-9 could be clearly distinguished from the closest species. Based on provided data, strain DQ-9 is proposed to represent a novel species, sp. nov., within the genus . The type strain is DQ-9 (=ACCC 60415=KCTC 33936).
