Abstract

A Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium, Gsoil 3088, was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in Pocheon Province in South Korea and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain Gsoil 3088 was shown to belong to the family , being related to (96.6 %), (96.3 %), (96.1 %), (96.1 %), (96.1 %) and (96.0 %). The phylogenetic distances from other validly described species within the genus were greater than 4.0 % (i.e. there was less than 96.0 % similarity). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 52.1 mol%. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data (major menaquinone, MK-7; fatty acid profile, iso-C, iso-C and anteiso-C) supported the affiliation of strain Gsoil 3088 to the genus . The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed strain Gsoil 3088 to be distinguished genotypically and phenotypically from species with validly published names. Strain Gsoil 3088, therefore, represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Gsoil 3088 (=KCTC 13938=LMG 23403).
