Parapedobacter deserti sp. nov., an endophytic bacterium isolated from Haloxylon ammodendron stems Liu, Lei and Li, Lubin and Song, Zheng and Wang, Shiyan and Zhang, Jun and Zhang, Xiaoxia and Sun, Qiwu,, 67, 2148-2152 (2017), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001911, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Strain N5SSJ16T, a Gram-negative-staining, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, was isolated from Haloxylon ammodendron stems. The strain grew in the presence of 0–4 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum growth in the absence of NaCl), at pH 7–9 (optimum: pH 8) and at 12–50 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain N5SSJ16T was related phylogenetically to Parapedobacter composti 4M40T (96.5 %) and Parapedobacter luteus 4M29T (95.9 %). The cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), summed feature 9 (C16 : 0 10-methyl and/or iso-C17 : 1ω9c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. MK-7 was the respiratory quinone. The main polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified aminophospholipid and two unknown lipids. The G+C content of the DNA was 45.8 mol%. On the basis of chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, strain N5SSJ16T represents a novel species of the genus Parapedobacter , for which the name Parapedobacter deserti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is N5SSJ16T (=ACCC 19928T=KCTC 52416T)., language=, type=
