Abstract

The taxonomic position of a Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, endospore-forming, facultatively anaerobic bacterial strain, CAU 9324, isolated from a grassy sandbank was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strain CAU 9324 grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 6.0. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained -diaminopimelic acid. The major isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol as the major component. The predominant cellular fatty acid was anteiso-C. The DNA G+C content of strain CAU 9324 was 48.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain belonged to the genus , showing <96.4 % similarity to the type strains of all recognized species. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic data, strain CAU 9324 was considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 9324 (=KCTC 13718 =CCUG 59189).
