Alkaliphilic Bacterium

A non-motile, Gram-negative, boron-tolerant and alkaliphilic bacterium was isolated from soil of the Hisarcik area in the Kutahya Province of Turkey that was naturally high in boron minerals. The novel isolate, designated T-22T, formed rod-shaped cells, was catalase- and oxidase-positive and tolerated up to 300 mM boron. The strain also survived on agar medium containing up to 3 % (w/v) NaCl. The pH range for growth of this strain was 6.5–10.0 (optimum pH 8.0–9.0) and the temperature range was 16–37 °C (optimum 28–30 °C). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a clear affiliation with the genus Chimaereicella, with 97.4 % sequence similarity to Chimaereicella alkaliphila AC-74T, which was the highest similarity among cultivated bacteria. The DNA–DNA relatedness with C. alkaliphila AC-74T was 28.3 %. The major respiratory quinone system was MK-7 and the predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or iso-C16 : 1 ω7c). The DNA G+C content was 42.5 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic analysis and physiological, chemotaxonomic and genetic data, we concluded that strain T-22T should be classified in the genus Chimaereicella, and we propose the name Chimaereicella boritolerans sp. nov. for this novel species. The type strain is strain T-22T (=DSM 17298T=NBRC 101277T=ATCC BAA-1189T).

Abstract An aerobic, gram-negative, pink-colored, non-motile, rod-shaped algicidal bacterium, designated JA-25T was isolated from the freshwater of the Geumgang River, Republic of Korea. It grew at 15–30°C, 6.0–9.0 pH, and in the presence of 0–1% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain JA-25T belongs to the Family ‘Spirosomaceae’ and is most closely related to Fibrella aestuarina BUZ 2T (93.6%). The strain JA-25T showed < 90% sequence similarity to other members of the Family ‘Spirosomaceae’. The average nucleotide identity(ANI), in silico DNA-DNA hybridization and the average amino acid identity(AAI) values based on the genomic sequences of JA-25T and F. aestuarina BUZ 2T were 74.4, 20.5 and 73.6 %, respectively. The genomic DNA G + C content was 52.5mol %. The major cellular fatty acids were Summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c/C16:1 ω7c), C16:1 ω5c, C16:0 (> 10%). The genomic DNA G + C content was 52.5 mol %. The major respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, two phospholipids and five unidentified lipids. Considering the phylogenetic inference, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain JA-25T should be classified as a novel species of the novel genus Fibrivirga, with the proposed name Fibrivirga algicola sp. nov. The type strain is JA-25T (= KCCM 43334T = NBRC 114259T).

Major Respiratory Quinone

A novel non-sporulating, non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated DCA-1T, was isolated from activated sludge collected from a butachlor wastewater treatment facility. The strain was able to degrade about 85 % of 100 mg butachlor l−1 within 5 days of incubation. Growth occurred in the presence of 0–6 % (w/v) NaCl [optimum, 1 % (w/v) NaCl] and at pH 5.5–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and 15–35 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C). Vesicular internal membrane structures and photoheterotrophic growth were not observed. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10) and the major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c and 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain DCA-1T was 62.5 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison revealed that strain DCA-1T was a member of the family Rhodobacteraceae and was related most closely to the type strain of Catellibacterium aquatile (96.5 % sequence similarity). The combination of phylogenetic analysis, phenotypic characteristics and chemotaxonomic data supports the suggestion that strain DCA-1T represents a novel species of the genus Catellibacterium, for which the name Catellibacterium caeni sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DCA-1T ( = CGMCC 1.7745T  = DSM 21823T). In addition, based on the characterization data obtained in this study, it is proposed that Rhodobacter changlensis should be reclassified as Catellibacterium changlense comb. nov. (type strain JA139T  = DSM 18774T  = CCUG 53722T  = JCM 14338T). An emended description of the genus Catellibacterium is also presented.

A marine bacterium, DOKDO 007T, was isolated from the rhizosphere of the marine alga Ecklonia kurome collected from Dokdo Island, Korea, in October 2004. The strain produced orange-coloured colonies on marine agar 2216. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the novel isolate belonged to the family Flavobacteriaceae and showed relatively high sequence similarities with members of the genus Muricauda (92.0–94.0 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the novel isolate shared a lineage with members of the genera Muricauda and Costertonia. Cells were aerobic, Gram-negative rods producing non-diffusible carotenoid pigments. In contrast to all other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae, cells of DOKDO 007T were motile by means of a polar flagellum. Optimal growth occurred in the presence of 3.5–4 % (w/v) sea salts (corresponding to 2.7–3.1 % NaCl), at pH 8 and at temperatures of 26–29 °C. The novel strain required Ca2+ ions in addition to NaCl for growth. The dominant fatty acids were iso-15 : 0, iso-15 : 1ω10c and 10-methyl-16 : 0. The major respiratory quinone was MK-6. The DNA G+C content was 56.3 mol%, an unusually high value for members of the family Flavobacteriaceae. On the basis of these polyphasic taxonomic data, strain DOKDO 007T should be classified as representing a new genus and novel species in the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Flagellimonas eckloniae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DOKDO 007T (=KCCM 42307T=JCM 13831T).
