Abstract

A Gram-negative, non-motile, pale-yellow, rod-shaped bacterial strain, PL-41, was isolated from forest soil at the ancient Khiyik River valley in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China. Strain PL-41 grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 7.0–8.0. The major quinone was Q-10. The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain PL-41 were summed feature 8 (comprising Cω7 and Cω6), C and C cyclo ω8. Polar lipids of strain PL-41 include two unidentified aminophospholipids (APL1, 2), two unidentified phospholipids (PL1, 2), phosphatidylcholine and three unidentified lipids (L1–3). Strain PL-41 showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.0–97.5 % to the type strains of recognized species of the genus . Phylogenetic analysis of strain PL-41 based on the sequences of housekeeping genes and confirmed (similarities are less than 90 %) its position as a distinct species of the genus . The DNA G+C content was 57.8 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain PL-41 and the type strains of S02, CCBAU 01393, CCBAU 05176 and CCBAU 7190B were 33.4, 22.6, 25.5 and 45.1 %, respectively, indicating that strain PL-41 was distinct from them genetically. Strain PL-41 also can be differentiated from these four phylogenetically related species of the genus by various phenotypic properties. On the basis of phenotypic properties, phylogenetic distinctiveness and genetic data, strain PL-41 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PL-41 ( = CCTCC AB 2011011 = NRRL B-59556).
