Abstract

Eight strains, 002-165, 002-079, B0021, Hojyo2, RB603B, RB677, 002-074 and RB678, isolated from the environment of food-processing factories in Japan, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. The isolates were Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, pink-pigmented, facultatively methylotrophic, non-spore-forming rods. The chemotaxonomic characteristics of these isolates included the presence of C 7 as the major cellular fatty acid and ubiquinone Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone. The DNA G+C content was 67.1–71.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA and DNA gyrase B subunit () nucleotide sequence confirmed that the eight strains belonged to the clade. Moreover, a DNA–DNA hybridization analysis showed that the eight isolates represented five novel species. On the basis of their phenotypic and phylogenetic distinctiveness, the isolates represent five novel species within the genus , for which the names sp. nov. (type strain 002-165 =DSM 19562 =NBRC 103628 =NCIMB 14378), sp. nov. (type strain 002-079 =DSM 19563 =NBRC 103627 =NCIMB 14377), sp. nov. (type strain B0021 =DSM 19569 =NBRC 103629 =NCIMB 14379), sp. nov. (type strain RB677 =DSM 19566 =NBRC 103632 =NCIMB 14380) and sp. nov. (type strain 002-074 =DSM 19564 =NBRC 103626 =NCIMB 14376) are proposed.
