sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from a saline soil contaminated with crude oil Free

Abstract

A Gram-negative, aerobic, short rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium, strain A-1, was isolated from a saline soil contaminated with crude oil in Xianhe, Shangdong Province, China. Strain A-1 formed yellow colonies, was moderately halophilic and grew with 0.05–27.5 % (w/v) total salts (optimum 5–8 %), at 10–42 °C (optimum 30 °C) and at pH 5.5–9.0 (optimum pH 7.2). The dominant fatty acids (>5 %) were C, summed feature 3 (comprising Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH), Cω7, C cyclo ω8 and C 3-OH and the predominant ubiquinone was Q-9. The genomic DNA G+C content was 67.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain A-1 belonged to the genus in the class . The closest relatives were YIM 91125 (97.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), LMG 20969 (95.6 %), AAP (95.5 %) and BH843 (95.2 %). DNA–DNA relatedness between strain A-1 and CCTCC AB 206093 was 27±3 %. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic features, strain A-1 should be placed in the genus as a representative of a novel species. The name sp. nov. is proposed, with strain A-1 ( = CGMCC 1.6848  = JCM 14849) as the type strain.
