Abstract

A bacterial strain (designated KMY03) that possesses -glucosidase activity was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in South Korea and was characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. The bacterium was found to comprise Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile cells with unipolar polytrichous flagella. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain KMY03 was shown to belong to the family of the , being most closely related to LMG 19076 (97.8 %), LMG 20594 (97.5 %), LMG 21463 (97.4 %) and LMG 22146 (97.3 %). Chemotaxonomic data (major ubiquinone, Q-8; major fatty acids, C cyclo, C, C cyclo 8 and summed feature 2) supported the affiliation of the novel strain with the genus . The results of DNA–DNA hybridizations and physiological and biochemical tests allowed the strain to be differentiated genotypically and phenotypically from species with validly published names. On the basis of these data, strain KMY03 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KMY03 (=KCTC 12389=NBRC 100965).
