sp. nov., a mineral-weathering bacterium Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strain, H66, was isolated from the surfaces of weathered rock (purple siltstone) found in Yanting, Sichuan Province, PR China. Cells of strain H66 were motile with peritrichous flagella. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain H66 belongs to the genus . It is closely related to SO2 (98.1 %), CCBAU 01393 (98.0 %) and ALA10B2 (98.0 %). Analysis of the housekeeping genes, , and , showed low levels of sequence similarity (<92.0 %) between strain H66 and other recognized species of the genus . The predominant components of the cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (Cω7 and/or Cω6) and C. The G+C content of strain H66 was 60.3 mol%. Strain H66 is suggested to be a novel species of the genus based on the low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness (ranging from 14.3 % to 40.0 %) with type strains of species of the genus and on its unique phenotypic characteristics. The namehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1601/nm.1279 sp. nov. is proposed for this novel species. The type strain is H66 ( = CCTCC AB 2014007 = LMG 28229).
