sp. nov., a member of the family isolated from Namibian semiarid savannah soil Free

Abstract

A novel aerobic, chemo-organoheterotrophic bacterium, strain Ac_26_B10, was isolated from a semiarid savannah soil collected in northern Namibia (Mashare, Kavango region). Based on analysis of its nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence, the isolate belongs to the genus (family , order , class ) and shares 98.3 and 96.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with its closest relatives, DRP 35 and O3SUJ4. Cells were Gram-negative, coccoid to rod-shaped, non-motile and divided by binary fission. Strain Ac_26_B10 showed weak catalase activity and, in contrast to the other described species of the genus , was oxidase-positive. Compared with the already established species of the genus , the novel strain used a larger range of sugars and sugar alcohols for growth, lacked α-mannosidase activity and exhibited a higher temperature optimum of growth. DNA–DNA hybridization studies with its closest phylogenetic relative, DSM 28898, confirmed that strain Ac_26_B10 represents a distinct genomospecies. Its most abundant fatty acids were iso-C, summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6) and C. Dominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8; minor amounts of MK-7 and MK-8(H) were also recorded. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 58.5 mol%. On the basis of our polyphasic analysis, Ac_26_B10 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Ac_26_B10 ( = DSM 26559 = LMG 27984).
