sp. nov., isolated from mountain soil No Access

Abstract

Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped strains, YJM1 and YJM12S, were isolated from Maebong Mountain, Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Strains YJM1 and YJM12S exhibited growth at 5–35 °C (optimum, 20–30 °C) and pH 6–9 (optimum, pH 7) and in 0–4 % (w/v) NaCl. Strains YJM1 and YJM12S showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the following members of the genus : A33 (98.3 %/98.2 % similarity), NBRC 107840 (98.2 %/98.1 %), KV-653 (97.3 %), KV-651 (97.3 %), and NBRC 12137 (97.2 %). The strains grew well on Reasoner's 2A, nutrient, Mueller–Hinton, yeast–dextrose, and glucose–peptone–meat extract agars. The major polar lipids of strain YJM1 were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylinositol. The primary respiratory quinone of strain YJM1 was MK-9(H), and the major fatty acids of strains YJM1 and YJM12S were anteiso-C, anteiso-C, iso-C, and iso-C. The DNA G+C content, based on the whole genome sequence of strain YJM1, was 68.3 mol%. Average nucleotide identity values and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain YJM1 and the reference strains ranged from 75.0 to 92.7 % and from 21.0 to 65.3 %, respectively. Strain YJM1 exhibited antimicrobial activity against and . Considering the chemotaxonomic, phenotypic, genotypic, and phylogenetic results, we propose the strain YJM1 represents a novel species in the genus and suggest the name sp. nov. (type strain YJM1=KACC 23300=JCM 36483).
