Abstract

A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, motile, oxidase-positive, catalase-negative bacterium, designated strain BL03, was isolated from landfill soil in Pohang, Republic of Korea. Colonies on Luria–Bertani agar plates were yellow. The strain grew in the presence of 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl, at 15–42 °C and at pH 5.0–9.5. The predominant ubiquinone was Q-10, and the major cellular fatty acids were C 6, C 2-OH and C 7. Polar lipids detected were phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, sphingoglycolipid and an unknown glycolipid. Spermidine was identified as the major polyamine component. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BL03 belongs to the genus with high sequence similarity to JSS54 (97.8 %), RB2256 (97.4 %) and S37 (96.9 %). Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain BL03 and the above three type strains were only 10.3–40.3 %. The DNA G+C content of strain BL03 was 65.9 mol%. Based on the data presented, strain BL03 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BL03 (=KCTC 22405 =JCM 15910).
