Bacterium Strain

A novel bacterium (strain M4-8T) belonging to the genus Microbacterium was isolated from salted turban shell, which is a traditional fermented food in Korea. Its morphology, physiology, biochemical features and 16S rRNA gene sequence were characterized. Cells of this strain were Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods that formed yellow-pigmented colonies. It grew in 0–8 % (w/v) NaCl and at 15–37 °C, with optimal growth occurring in 1 % (w/v) NaCl and at 30 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain M4-8T is associated with members of the genus Microbacterium. Within the phylogenetic tree, this novel strain shared a branching point with Microbacterium hominis IFO 15708T (97.8 % similarity). The DNA G+C content was 71.3 mol% and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments showed a low level (<29 %) of DNA–DNA relatedness between M4-8T and its closest relatives. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0 and the major cell-wall diamino acid was ornithine. Data obtained from DNA–DNA hybridization and chemotaxonomic phenotypic analysis support the conclusion that strain M4-8T represents a novel species within the genus Microbacterium. The name Microbacterium mitrae sp. nov. is proposed, with M4-8T (=KACC 21129T =JCM 16363T) as the type strain.

A Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, strain 7087T, was isolated from rhizosphere of maize in China. The strain grew at 4–50 °C and at pH 4–10, with optima of 37 °C and pH 7.0, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on the full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain 7087T was a member of the genus Microbacterium . High levels of 16S rRNA gene similarities were found between strain 7087T and Microbacterium binotii DSM 19164T (99.8 %). However, the DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain 7087T and Microbacterium binotii DSM 19164T was 24.2 %. The DNA G+C content of strain 7087T was 69.9 mol%. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C17 : 0 (36.45 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (36.08 %) and iso-C16 : 0 (16.11 %). The predominant menaquinones were MK-10 (28.1 %), MK-11 (54.8 %) and MK-12 (17.1 %). The diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan was ornithine. The major polar lipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, unknown phospholipids, an unknown glycolipid and unknown amino lipids. On the basis of these results, strain 7087T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Microbacterium , for which the name Microbacterium neimengense sp. nov. is proposed.

An aerobic, Gram-staining-negative, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, strain NH52FT, was isolated from a sandy sediment sample taken from the South China Sea. On M2 agar medium (a complex medium), colonies were beige in colour. The isolate showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to members of the genera Leisingera (96.7 % similarity), Phaeobacter (95.4–96.0 %) and Marinovum (94.1 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain NH52FT formed a distinct cluster with Leisingera methylohalidivorans MB2T and Leisingera aquimarina LMG 24366T. Optimal growth was observed at pH 7.0-8.5 and 25 °C and the new isolate required the presence of 1–4 % (w/v) NaCl. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 0 2-OH, C10 : 0 3-OH, C12 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 0 and 11-methyl C18 : 1 ω7c. The DNA G+C content was 60.5 mol%. The phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain NH52FT were similar to those of the genus Leisingera. However, the differences in phenotypic properties and the 16S rRNA gene similarity values demonstrated that the new isolate differed from recognized species of the genus Leisingera. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, this organism should be classified as a representative of a novel species in the genus Leisingera, for which the name Leisingera nanhaiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NH52FT (=LMG 24841T=CCTCC AB 208316T=MCCC 1A04178T).

A novel Gram-positive bacterium, strain 40T, was isolated in the course of identifying bacteria from infective juveniles of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema thermophilum. Based on 16S rRNA gene analysis, strain 40T was found to be related to the type strains of recognized species of the genus Leucobacter, family Microbacteriaceae. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of strain 40T and Leucobacter albus IAM 14851T, Leucobacter luti LMG 23118T, Leucobacter alluvii LMG 23117T, Leucobacter komagatae DSM 8803T, Leucobacter chromiireducens CIP 108389T and Leucobacter aridicollis CIP 108388T, respectively, were 97.3, 97.5, 97.6, 97.6, 97.6 and 98.5 %. Chemotaxonomic analysis also supported the affiliation of strain 40T to the genus Leucobacter: the major menaquinone was MK-11, the peptidoglycan cross-linkage was of the B-type, the cell wall diamino acid was l-diaminobutyric acid and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 (42 %), anteiso-C17 : 0 (34 %) and iso-C16 : 0 (16 %). Based upon the biochemical and genomic analyses, strain 40T is sufficiently distinct from the type strains of recognized Leucobacter species to warrant the description of a novel species, for which the name Leucobacter iarius sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain 40T (=DSM 17402T=CIP 108831T).

An oval to rod-shaped, phototrophic, purple non-sulfur bacterium, strain JA192T, was isolated from an enrichment culture of a pasteurized rhizosphere soil sample from a field cultivated with jowar (sorghum) collected from Godumakunta village near Hyderabad, India. Strain JA192T is Gram-negative, motile and produces endospores. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain JA192T is closely related to Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1T (99.9 % sequence similarity), Rba. megalophilus JA194T (99.8 %) and Rba. azotoformans KA25T (98.1 %) and clusters with other species of the genus Rhodobacter of the family Rhodobacteraceae. However, DNA–DNA hybridization with Rba. sphaeroides DSM 158T, Rba. megalophilus JA194T and Rba. azotoformans JCM 9340T showed relatedness of only 38–57 % with respect to strain JA192T. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization data and morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characters, strain JA192T represents a novel species of the genus Rhodobacter, for which the name Rhodobacter johrii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JA192T (=DSM 18678T =JCM 14543T =MTCC 8172T).

A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-Jh2-17T, was isolated from muddy soil collected from a riverbank in Jilin Province, northern China, and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NEAU-Jh2-17T showed highest similarity to those of Streptomonospora nanhaiensis 12A09T (99.26 %), Nocardiopsis rosea YIM 90094T (97.31 %), Streptomonospora halophila YIM 91355T (97.24 %) and Streptomonospora arabica S186T (97.02 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that strain NEAU-Jh2-17T fell within a cluster consisting of the type strains of species of the genus Streptomonospora and formed a stable clade with S. nanhaiensis 12A09T in trees generated with two algorithms. Key morphological and chemotaxonomic properties also confirmed the affiliation of strain NEAU-Jh2-17T to the genus Streptomonospora. The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and whole-cell hydrolysates contained glucose, ribose and galactose. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol mannoside (PIM), two unknown phospholipids (PLs) and two unknown glycolipids (GLs). The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H2), MK-10(H8), MK-10(H6) and MK-10(H4). Major fatty acids were C18 : 0 10-methyl, anteiso-C17 : 0, C16 : 0 10-methyl, iso-C15 : 0, C17 : 0 10-methyl and C18 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 71.82 mol%. However, a combination of DNA–DNA hybridization results and some phenotypic characteristics demonstrated that strain NEAU-Jh2-17T could be distinguished from its closely related relatives. Therefore, strain NEAU-Jh2-17T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Streptomonospora, for which the name Streptomonospora halotolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-Jh2-17T ( = CGMCC 4.7218T = JCM 30347T).

Two Gram-stain-positive, mycelium-forming actinobacteria (strains 14-Be-013T and 02-Gi-014) were isolated from walls colonized with moulds and studied taxonomically. The isolates formed yellowish-pigmented substrate mycelium showing no fragmentation. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that these bacteria are most closely related to genera within the family Nocardiopsaceae, but form a separate lineage within this family. Highest sequence similarities were to the type strains of Marinactinospora thermotolerans (96.0 % to 14-Be-013T), Nocardiopsis dassonvillei subsp. albirubida and Nocardiopsis lucentensis (both 95.3 % to 14-Be-013T). Whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid of the cell wall and no diagnostic sugars. Mycolic acids were absent. The major menaquinones were MK-10(H4), MK-11(H4) and MK-12(H2). The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylcholine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and unknown lipids. Major fatty acids iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and C18 : 1 ω9c supported the affiliation of these isolates to the family Nocardiopsaceae. Phenotypic analysis (including chemotaxonomy) further differentiated strains 14-Be-013T and 02-Gi-014 from the most closely related members of the genera Marinactinospora and Nocardiopsis. Since the two strains form a distinct lineage in the 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic tree, the novel genus Murinocardiopsis gen. nov. with the type species Murinocardiopsis flavida sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Murinocardiopsis flavida is 14-Be-013T (=DSM 45312T =CCM 7612T).
