Abstract

A Gram-staining-negative, yellow-coloured, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated HS39, isolated from a soil sample collected from a natural forest in Xinjiang, China, was characterized using a polyphasic approach. The isolate grew optimally at 30–37 °C, at pH 6.5–8.0 and with 0–3 % NaCl. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HS39 revealed that it is a member of the genus . ATCC 33299 was the nearest relative (94.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 40.2 mol%. The major fatty acids were iso-C, iso-C 3-OH and summed feature 3 (comprising C 6 and/or C 7). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic inference, strain HS39 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HS39 (=CCTCC AB 209006 =NRRL B-59203).
