Deinococcus fonticola sp. nov., isolated from a radioactive thermal spring in Hungary Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and coccus-shaped bacterium, designated strain FeSDHB5-19, was isolated from a biofilm sample collected from a radioactive thermal spring (Budapest, Hungary), after exposure to 5 kGy gamma radiation. A polyphasic approach was used to study the taxonomic properties of strain FeSDHB5-19, which had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Deinococcus antarcticus G3-6-20 (96.5 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to type strains of other Deinococcus species were 93.0 % or lower. The DNA G+C content of the draft genome sequence, consisting of 3.9 Mb, was 63.9 mol%. Strain FeSHDB5-19 was found to grow at temperatures of 10–32 °C (optimum, 28 °C) and pH 5–10 (pH 6.5–7.5) and tolerated up to 1.5 % NaCl (w/v) with optimum growth at 0–0.5 % NaCl. The predominant fatty acids (>10 %) were C16 : 0 and C16 : 1ω7c. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was A3β l-Orn–Gly1-2. The whole-cell sugars were glucose and low amounts of galactose. Strain FeSDHB5-19 possessed MK-8 as the predominant respiratory quinone, typical of the genus Deinococcus . The polar lipid profile contained unidentified phosphoglycolipids and unidentified glycolipids. The isolate was found to be highly resistant to gamma (D10<8 kGy) and UV (D10~800 J m) radiation. According to its genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain FeSDHB5-19 represents a novel species in the genus Deinococcus , for which the name Deinococcus fonticola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FeSDHB5-19 (=NCAIM B.02639=DSM 106917).
