Abstract

A spherical, pink, aerobic, Gram-stain-positive bacterial strain (MIMF12) was isolated from rhizosphere soil collected in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, PR China. Cellular growth of the strain was observed at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0), at 20–37 °C (optimum, 28 °C) and with 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain MIMF12 was most closely related to SDU3-2 with a similarity value of 96.0 %. The respiratory quinone was menaquinone 8, the major fatty acids were C 6 and C 8, and the major polar lipids were composed of two aminophospholipids, one phospholipid and four unidentified lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.1 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain MIMF12 and the closest related type strain SDU3-2 were 88.1 and 52.1 %, respectively. The discovery that MIMF12 differs not only from validly named species in the genus , but also from currently unnamed species in the GDTB, gives us new insights into the genus. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics, strain MIMF12 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MIMF12 (=CGMCC 1.61579=KCTC 43572).
