Abstract

A novel Gram-stain-negative, small curved-rod-shaped, motile strain, designated L6, was isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated soils collected from Kuwait. Strain L6 was able to grow at 10–40 °C (optimum, 27–32 °C), pH 6.1–8.8 (optimum, 6.5–7.5) and 0–4.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0–0.5). Cω6/Cω7, C, Cω6/Cω7, C and C 3-OH were predominant fatty acids with minor amounts of C and C cyclo. Phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine were major polar lipids. The genomic G+C content was 61.2 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons indicated that strain L6 represents a member of the genus within the family of the class . Strain L6 has a sequence similarity of 99.2 % with SGLY2 and <93.8 % with other members of the family . However, strain L6 showed only 56.5±2 % relatedness (based on DNA–DNA hybridization) with KACC 12055 (=SGLY2). Distinct morphological, physiological and genotypic differences from the previously described taxa support the classification of strain L6 as a representative of a novel species in the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is L6 (=KEMB 2255-471=JCM 31223). An emended description of the genus is also proposed.
