Abstract

A bacterial strain, CS12T, which was isolated from soil around a wastewater treatment plant, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study using phenotypic characterizations and genetic methods. The cell wall of strain CS12T contains meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diamino acid but no arabinose and galactose. The predominant menaquinone is MK-8(H4). Mycolic acids are absent. Strain CS12T has a cellular fatty acid profile containing saturated, unsaturated, branched and 10-methyl fatty acids. The major fatty acids are iso-C16:0, C18:1 omega9c and anteiso-C17:0, The G+C content is 69 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rDNA sequences showed that strain CS12T forms an evolutionary lineage within the radiation enclosing the members of the family Intrasporangiaceae and, in particular, a coherent cluster with Janibacter limosus DSM 11140T. The level of 16S rDNA similarity between strain CS12T and J. limosus DSM 11140T is 98.7%. The phenotypic characteristics and DNA-DNA relatedness data indicate that strain CS12T should be distinguished from J. limosus DSM 11140T. Therefore, on the basis of the data presented, a new species of the genus Janibacter, Janibacter terrae, is proposed. The type strain of the new species is strain CS12T (= KCCM 80001T = JCM 10705T).
