Chemotaxonomic Markers

An actinobacterium, strain YIM 70010T, which was isolated from a desert soil sample collected in Egypt, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomy study. The organism was alkalitolerant and its optimum growth occurred at pH 8·0–9·0. The isolate contained chemotaxonomic markers that were characteristic of the genus Citricoccus, i.e. the peptidoglycan type Lys–Gly–Glu (variation A4α), the predominant menaquinone MK-9(H2) and a polar lipid profile consisting of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and two unknown glycolipids. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 63·8 mol%. Strain YIM 70010T exhibited a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99·6 % and DNA–DNA relatedness value of 56 % with Citricoccus muralis DSM 14442T. The phenotypic characteristics and DNA–DNA relatedness data indicate that strain YIM 70010T can be distinguished from C. muralis (DSM 14442T). Therefore, on the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic data presented, a novel species of the genus Citricoccus, Citricoccus alkalitolerans sp. nov. (type strain, YIM 70010T=CCTCC AA 203008T=DSM 15665T=KCTC 19012T) is proposed.

Micro Organisms

Five strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from a compost of distilled shochu residue in Japan. The isolates were separated into two groups on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, and two subclusters were formed that comprised micro-organisms closely related to Lactobacillus buchneri, L. diolivorans, L. hilgardii, L. kefiri, L. parabuchneri and L. parakefiri. DNA–DNA relatedness results revealed that the isolates could be separated into two groups, and these groups correlated well with the subclusters generated using the phylogenetic analysis. Moreover, the levels of DNA–DNA relatedness showed clear separation of the two groups from their phylogenetic relatives. Therefore, the two groups represent two novel species, for which the names Lactobacillus farraginis sp. nov. (type strain NRIC 0676T=JCM 14108T=DSM 18382T) and Lactobacillus parafarraginis sp. nov. (type strain NRIC 0677T=JCM 14109T=DSM 18390T) are proposed.

Beer Spoilage

Three novel strains isolated from brewery environments are described. These strains were Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, heterofermentative rods that did not exhibit catalase activity. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that these strains belong to the genus Lactobacillus and are most closely related to Lactobacillus collinoides (approximately 99 % similarity). The novel strains could be differentiated from L. collinoides on the basis of DNA–DNA relatedness, differences in beer-spoilage ability and the inability to utilize d-fructose. These isolates represent a novel species, for which the name Lactobacillus paracollinoides sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LA2T (=DSM 15502T=JCM 11969T).

A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-GRX6T, was isolated from mucky soil collected from a stream of Jinlong Mountain in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, north China, and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The isolate formed irregular sporangia containing motile sporangiospores on the substrate mycelium. The whole-cell sugars were xylose, glucose and galactose. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H6), MK-10(H4) and MK-9(H4). The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C15 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c, C17 : 1ω7c and C18 : 0. The phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The DNA G+C content was 67 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies showed that strain NEAU-GRX6T belonged to the genus Actinoplanes , being most closely related to Actinoplanes palleronii IFO 14916T (97.80 % similarity) and Actinoplanes missouriensis NBRC 102363T (97.76 %). However, the low observed levels of DNA–DNA relatedness allowed the isolate to be differentiated from the above-mentioned species of the genus Actinoplanes . Moreover, strain NEAU-GRX6T could also be distinguished from A. palleronii IFO 14916T and A. missouriensis NBRC 102363T by phenotypic characteristics. Therefore, it is proposed that strain NEAU-GRX6T represents a novel species of the genus Actinoplanes , for which the name Actinoplanes lutulentus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain NEAU-GRX6T ( = CGMCC 4.7090T = DSM 45883T).
