Salinarimonas rosea gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the α-2 subgroup of the Proteobacteria Liu, Ji-Hui and Wang, Yong-Xia and Zhang, Xiao-Xia and Wang, Zhi-Gang and Chen, Yi-Guang and Wen, Meng-Liang and Xu, Li-Hua and Peng, Qian and Cui, Xiao-Long,, 60, 55-60 (2010), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.006981-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic, halotolerant bacterial strain, designated YIM YD3T, was isolated from a salt mine in Yunnan, south-west China. The taxonomy of strain YIM YD3T was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Strain YIM YD3T was motile, formed pink colonies and was positive for catalase and oxidase activities. Q-10 was the predominant respiratory ubiquinone. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and two unknown phospholipids. The major fatty acids (>10 % of total fatty acids) were C18 : 1 ω7c, C18 : 1 ω9c, C16 : 0 and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c. The DNA G+C content was 71.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed that the isolate formed a distinct line within a clade containing the genera Balneimonas, Bosea, Chelatococcus and Microvirga in the order Rhizobiales, with highest levels of 16S RNA gene sequence similarity to the type strain of Balneimonas flocculans (93.5 %). On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain YIM YD3T represents a novel species in a new genus, for which the name Salinarimonas rosea gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with strain YIM YD3T (=KCTC 22346T=CCTCC AA208038T) as the type strain., language=, type=
