sp. nov., able to grow on media supplemented with methyl -butyl ether (MTBE) and isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated soil Free

Abstract

A bacterial strain, designated SH7, was isolated from the hydrocarbon-contaminated soil of a pilot plant (Granada, Spain). The strain was selected for its capacity to grow in media supplemented with methyl -butyl ether (MTBE) as sole energy and carbon source. Strain SH7 was a Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SH7 belongs to a cluster comprising species of the genus and was closely related to KK19 (97 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and TOD45 (98 %). DNA–DNA hybridization tests showed low relatedness of strain SH7 with the type strains of (16.9 ± 1.5 %) and (16.6 ± 2.1 %). The cell wall of strain SH7 contained -diaminopimelic acid. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7, and anteiso-C15 : 0 (32.9 %) and C16 : 0 (29.0 %) were the predominant cellular fatty acids. Phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and three unknown aminophospholipids were the major phospholipids. The DNA G+C content was 44.3 mol%. Data obtained in this study indicate that strain SH7 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SH7 ( = CECT 8558 = DSM 29760).
