Abstract

Strain MUSC 117 was isolated from mangrove soil of the Tanjung Lumpur forest in Pahang, Malaysia. This bacterium was yellowish-white pigmented, Gram-staining-positive, rod–coccus shaped and non-motile. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain MUSC 117 exhibited highest sequence similarity to DSM 20127 (98.0 %), LC13 (97.9 %) and CW 59 (97.8 %), and lower (<97.6 %) sequence similarity to other species of the genus . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed a low level of DNA–DNA relatedness (less than 27 %) between strain MUSC 117 and closely related species. Chemotaxonomically, the peptidoglycan type was A3α, containing the amino acids lysine, serine, glycine, alanine, glutamic acid and muramic acid. The whole-cell sugars detected were rhamnose, ribose, glucose, galactose and a smaller amount of mannose. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and five unidentified glycolipids. The major fatty acids (>10.0 %) of the cell membrane were anteiso-C (39.4 %), Cω7c (17.7 %), anteiso-C (17.2 %) and iso-C (11.4 %). The predominant respiratory quinones detected were MK-9(H) and MK-9. The DNA G+C content was 67.3 mol%. A comparison of BOX-PCR fingerprints indicated that strain MUSC 117 represented a unique DNA profile. Results based on a polyphasic approach showed that strain MUSC 117 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of sp. nov. is MUSC 117 ( = DSM 29362 = MCCC 1K00410 = NBRC 110653).
