sp. nov., isolated from lead–zinc mine tailing, and reclassification of two species as comb. nov. and comb. nov. No Access

Abstract

A Gram-positive, acid-fast, aerobic, rapidly growing and non-motile strain was isolated from lead–zinc mine tailing sampled in Lanping, Yunnan province, Southwest China. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the most closely related species of strain KC 300 was CGMCC 4.5724 (98.47 %). Additionally, phylogenomic and specific conserved signature indel analysis revealed that strain KC 300 should be a member of genus , and CECT 8779 and DSM 104744 should also members of genus . The genome size of strain KC 300 was 6.2 Mb with an DNA G+C content of 69.2 mol%. Chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain KC 300 were also consistent with the genus . The average nucleotide identity, digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity values, as well as phenotypic, physiological and biochemical characteristics, support that strain KC 300 represents a new species within the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain KC 300 (=CGMCC 1.19494=JCM 35915). In addition, we reclassified and as comb. nov. and comb. nov., respectively.
