Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming, cocci-shaped actinobacterium, designated strain EBR4-1-2, was isolated from a biofilm reactor in Korea. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies showed the isolate was clearly affiliated with the class , and was related most closely to H5, showing 98.9 % similarity. Cells of strain EBR4-1-2 formed yellow colonies on R2A agar, contained MK-9(H) as the predominant menaquinone, and included Cω9, C, Cω9 and C as the major fatty acids. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was A5α (-Lys–-Ala–-Lys–-Glu). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain EBR4-1-2 was 65.6 mol%. Thus, the combined genotypic and phenotypic data supported the conclusion that strain EBR4-1-2 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EBR4-1-2 ( = KCTC 33148 = JCM 19016).
