Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium (strain Hh36T) was isolated from the No. 1 glacier in Xinjiang, north-west China. Colonies of strain Hh36T were pink, convex and round on PYG medium plates. Strain Hh36T was able to grow at 4–30 °C and pH 6.0–8.0. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain Hh36T was related to members of the genus Arcticibacter . The major cellular fatty acids of the novel strain were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 44.0 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis, strain Hh36T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Arcticibacter , for which the name Arcticibacter pallidicorallinus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Hh36T ( = CGMCC 1.9313T = KCTC 32542T).
