Abstract

A Gram-positive, alkaliphilic bacterium, designated strain DLS13, was isolated from Dali Lake in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. The isolate was able to grow at pH 7.5–11.0 (optimum at pH 9), in 0–8 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum at 2 %, w/v) and at 10–45 °C (optimum at 30 °C). Cells of the isolate were facultatively anaerobic, spore-forming rods with peritrichous flagella. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 and its cell wall peptidoglycan contained -diaminopimelic acid. The major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C, anteiso-C and iso-C. The genomic DNA G+C content of the isolate was 43.9 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain DLS13 was a member of the genus and most closely related to DSM 15402 (96.9 % similarity). The DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain DLS13 and DSM 15402 was 38.7±1.9 %. Comparative analysis of genotypic and phenotypic features indicated that strain DLS13 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is DLS13 ( = CGMCC 1.10369 = JCM 17097 = NBRC 107572).
