sp. nov., a lactic acid bacterium with ginsenoside converting activity isolated from Kimchi Free

Abstract

A Gram-reaction-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, catalase-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, β-glucosidase-producing lactic acid bacterium, designated strain THK-V8, was isolated from the Korean fermented food, Kimchi, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strain THK-V8 was able to grow at 4–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C) and pH 4.0–7.0 (optimum, pH 6.0). Strain THK-V8 had the ability to transform ginsenoside Rb to Rd. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity data, strain THK-V8 was shown to belong to the genus . Strain THK-V8 was related to DCY50 (98.8 % sequence similarity), LMG 11984 (97.7 %), L13 (97.5 %), TMW1.1236 (97.3 %) and ATCC 14687 (97.2 %). Subsequently, sequence analysis of the RNA polymerase alpha subunit gene () confirmed that strain THK-V8 showed a maximum gene sequence similarity value of 93 % with LMG 6906. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 47.8 mol%. The DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain THK-V8 and DCY50 and LMG 11984 were 46.1±4.9 % and 10.6±2.9 %, respectively. The major fatty acids were summed feature 7 (comprised of C cyclo ω10/19ω6), C, C and Cω9. The cell wall peptidoglycan was of the A4α -Lys–-Asp type. The phenotypic and molecular properties indicated that strain THK-V8 represents a novel species within the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is THK-V8 ( = KACC 16236 = JCM 18023).
