sp. nov., a stalked bacterium isolated from rhizosphere soil Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, yellow-pigmented and rod-shaped bacterium with a single polar flagellum or a stalk, designated strain RHGG3, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of cultivated watermelon () collected from Hefei, China. Optimal growth of strain RHGG3 was observed at pH 7.0 and 28–30 °C. Cells were catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain RHGG3 belonged to the genus and showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to ATCC 21756 (98.6 %), CB51 (98.3 %) and ATCC 15253 (97.2 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70 mol%. Strain RHGG3 contained Q-10 as the sole ubiquinone and the major fatty acids (>8 %) were 11-methyl Cω7, Cω7, C, C and summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH). The polar lipids were various unknown glycolipids, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphoglycolipids. DNA–DNA relatedness of strain RHGG3 to type strains of the most closely related species ( ATCC 21756, DSM 4738 and ATCC 15253) was 32.4–40.9 %. Based on polyphasic taxonomy analysis (phylogenetic, unique phenotypic traits, chemotaxonomic and DNA–DNA hybridizations), strain RHGG3 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RHGG3 ( = CGMCC 1.15093 = KCTC 42581 = JCM 30763).
