RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Hoang, Van-An A1 Kim, Yeon-Ju A1 Nguyen, Ngoc Lan A1 Yang, Deok-ChunYR 2013 T1 Hymenobacter ginsengisoli sp. nov., isolated from soil of a ginseng field JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 63 IS Pt_2 SP 661 OP 666 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.039719-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, red bacterium, designated DCY57T, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field in a mountainous region of Chungnam province in South Korea. Strain DCY57T grew with 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl and the optimum temperature for growth was 30 °C. Strain DCY57T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone. The polyamine was sym-homospermidine. The major fatty acids were C16:1ω5c, iso-C15:0, anteiso-C15:0 and summed feature 3 (containing C16:1ω7c and/or C16:1ω6c). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, unknown aminophospholipids, unknown aminolipids and unknown lipids. The DNA G+C content was 58.9 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DCY57T was most closely related to members of the genus Hymenobacter . The isolate exhibited 91.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with H. soli PB17T, 94.5 % with H. flocculans A2-50AT and 95.8 % with H. metalli A2-91T. On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain DCY57T represents a novel species within the genus Hymenobacter , for which the name Hymenobacter ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DCY57T ( = KCTC 23674T = JCM 17841T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.039719-0
