Freshwater Spring

A yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, designated RIB1-6T, was isolated from a freshwater spring in Taiwan. Strain RIB1-6T was aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and non-spore-forming. Growth occurred at 10–37 °C, at pH 7–8 and with 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain RIB1-6T belonged to the genus Terrimonas and its two closest neighbours were Terrimonas ferruginea ATCC 13524T and Terrimonas lutea DYT (16S rRNA gene sequence similarity 97.4 % and 93.5 %, respectively). Strain RIB1-6T contained iso-C15 : 0 (33.4 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (18.2 %), summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c; 14.7 %) and iso-C15 : 1 (11.5 %) as the predominant fatty acids. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. The DNA G+C content of strain RIB1-6T was 47.3 mol%. On the basis of the genotypic and phenotypic data, strain RIB1-6T represents a novel species in the genus Terrimonas, for which the name Terrimonas aquatica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RIB1-6T (=BCRC 17941T=LMG 24825T).

A Gram-negative, motile and oval- or rod-shaped bacterial strain, DS-43T, was isolated from soil from Dokdo, Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. The strain grew optimally at pH 7·0–8·0 and at 30 °C in the presence of 0·5 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain DS-43T had Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and C16 : 0, C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, C18 : 1 ω7c and C17 : 0 cyclo as the major fatty acids, which are consistent with the corresponding data for the type strain (KCTC 12459T) of Variovorax paradoxus. The DNA G+C content was 66·0 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DS-43T was most closely related to Variovorax paradoxus, the only recognized species of the genus. The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain DS-43T and V. paradoxus IAM 12373T was 97·3 %.
