RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Lee, Soon DongYR 2012 T1 Motilibacter peucedani gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from rhizosphere soil JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 62 IS 2 SP 315 OP 321 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.030007-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A novel actinomycete strain, designated RP-AC37T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil collected on Mara Island of Jeju, Republic of Korea. Cells were aerobic, Gram-positive, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, non-mycelium-forming and motile rods (0.6–0.7×1.9–2.4 µm). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the organism formed a distinct clade within the radiation occupied by the suborder Frankineae. 16S rRNA gene similarity values were less than 93.2 % to members of the suborder Frankineae and related taxa. The diamino acid isomer in the cell-wall peptidoglycan was ll-diaminopimelic acid. The major whole-cell sugars were glucose, galactose and xylose. The major menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol. The cellular fatty acids were straight-chain, unsaturated and saturated, with a significant amount of tuberculostearic acid (10-methyl-C18 : 0). The DNA G+C content was 73.2 mol%. The combination of morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data clearly separate the isolate from members of known genera of the suborder Frankineae and related taxa, suggesting that the isolate represents a novel species in a new genus in this suborder, for which the name Motilibacter peucedani gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is RP-AC37T ( = KCTC 19630T = DSM 45328T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.030007-0
