Pedobacter bauzanensis sp. nov., isolated from soil
A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated BZ42T, was isolated from the soil of an industrial site. Strain BZ42T was able to grow at 5–25 °C. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (46.2 %), C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH (23.2 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (9.1 %). The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The genomic DNA G+C content was 36.5 mol% (HPLC). 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain BZ42T was a member of the genus Pedobacter, family Sphingobacteriaceae, and 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between strain BZ42T and the type strains of species of the genus Pedobacter with validly published names were 90.4–93.2 %. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain BZ42T was considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the name Pedobacter bauzanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BZ42T (=DSM 22554T =CGMCC 1.10187T =CIP 110134T).
