Vogesella alkaliphila sp. nov., isolated from an alkaline soil, and emended description of the genus Vogesella Subhash, Y. and Tushar, L. and Sasikala, Ch. and Ramana, Ch. V.,, 63, 2338-2343 (2013), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.046300-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Strain JC141T was isolated from an alkaline soil (pH 8.8) at Mau, Uttar Pradesh, India. Colonies were blue with a metallic sheen; cells stained Gram-negative, and were oxidase- and catalase-positive, but chitinase-negative. Major fatty acids were C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c, C16 : 0 and C18 : 0 with minor amounts of C10 : 0, C10 : 0 3-OH, C12 : 0, C14 : 0 and C18 : 1ω7c. Strain JC141T contained phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol as major polar lipids, with minor amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol, unidentified aminolipids (AL1–3) and unidentified lipids (L1–4). A bacterial hopane derivative (BHD1) was the major hopanoid. Genomic DNA G+C content was 62.5 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons indicated that strain JC141T represents a member of the genus Vogesella within the family Neisseriaceae of the class Betaproteobacteria . Strain JC141T had a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98 % with Vogesella indigofera ATCC 19706T and <96.5 % with other members of the genus Vogesella . However, strain JC141T showed 45.8 % relatedness (based on DNA–DNA hybridization) with V. indigofera LMG 6867T ( = ATCC 19706T). Distinct morphological, physiological and genotypic differences from previously described taxa support the classification of strain JC141T as a representative of a novel species in the genus Vogesella , for which the name Vogesella alkaliphila sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC141T ( = KCTC 32041T = LMG 27066T). An emended description of the genus Vogesella is also proposed., language=, type=
