sp. nov., isolated from a contaminated water microcosm Free

Abstract

A beige-pigmented, oxidase-positive bacterial strain (WPAn02), isolated as a presumably airborne contaminant of an axenic bacterial microcosm, was studied using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells of the isolate were coccoid and stained Gram-negative. A comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain WPAn02 with sequences of type strains of the most closely related species of the genus showed highest sequence similarities to (97.7 %), (97.1 %), (97.4 %) and ‘' (97.0 %). 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to all other species of the genus were below 97 %. The fatty acid profile of the strain consisted of the major fatty acids Cω/ω/ω12 and C. DNA–DNA hybridizations between WPAn02 and type strains of , , , and ‘’ resulted in similarity values of 49 % (reciprocal 22 %), 16 % (reciprocal 10 %), 30 % (reciprocal 32 %), and 18 % (reciprocal 7 %), respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization results together with the differentiating biochemical and chemotaxonomic properties indicated that WPAn02 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. (type strain WPAn02=RKI 16-01929=LMG 29738=CCM 8701=CIP 111112), is proposed.
