Suarez, Christian and Ratering, Stefan and Schäfer, Johanna and Schnell, Sylvia,, 67, 4500-4506 (2017), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002320, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-negative bacterium, designated E130T, was isolated from rhizospheric soil of Plantago winteri Wirtg. from a natural salt meadow as part of an investigation on rhizospheric bacteria from salt-resistant plant species and evaluation of their plant growth-promoting abilities. Cells were rods, non-motile, aerobic, and oxidase and catalase positive, grew in a temperature range of between 4 and 37 °C, and in the presence of 0.5–5 % NaCl (w/v). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain E130T is affiliated within the genus Ancylobacter , sharing the highest similarity with Ancylobacter rudongensis DSM 17131T (97.6 %), Ancylobacter defluvii CCUG 63806T (97.5 %) and Ancylobacter dichloromethanicus DSM 21507T (97.4 %). The DNA G+C content of strain E130T was 65.1 mol%. Its respiratory quinones were Q-9 and Q-10 and its major polar lipids comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and unidentified phospholipid. Major fatty acids of the strains E130T were C12 : 0, C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω7c and C19 : 0cyclo ω8c. The DNA–DNA relatedness of E130T to A. rudongensis DSM 17131T , A. defluvii CCUG 63806T and A. dichloromethanicus DSM 21507T was 29.2, 21.2 and 32.2 % respectively. On the basis of our polyphasic taxonomic study the new isolate represents a novel species, for which the name Ancylobacter pratisalsi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is E130T (LMG 29367T=DSM 102029T)., language=, type=
