sp. nov., a novel radiation-resistant bacterium isolated from sandy soil in Antarctica No Access

Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-mobile and spherical strain, designated ZS9-10, belonging to the genus was isolated from soil sampled at the Chinese Zhong Shan Station, Antarctica. Growth was observed in the presence of 0–4 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 7.0–8.0 and at 4–25 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ZS9-10 formed a lineage in the genus . It exhibited highest sequence similarity (97.4 %) to DSM 12784. The major phospholipids of ZS9-10 were unidentified phosphoglycolipid, unidentified glycolipids and unidentified lipids. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C 7 and/or C 6), C and C 7. MK-8 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain ZS9-10 and its close relative DSM 12784 were 27.4 and 83.9 %, respectively. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, a novel species, named sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain iis ZS9-10 (=CCTCC AB 2019392=KCTC43192).
