Abstract

Three Gram-negative, motile and slightly curved rod-shaped bacteria, strains SUEMI03, SUEMI08 and SUEMI10, were isolated from an old volcanic mountain soil on Tenerife (Canary Islands). The three strains were related phylogenetically to . 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity was 99.2–99.6 % among strains SUEMI03, SUEMI08 and SUEMI10, which presented 97.5, 97.8 and 97.7 % identity, respectively, with respect to DSM 6445. The three strains grew optimally in TSB at 28 °C and contained summed features 3 (Cω6 and/or Cω7) and 8 (Cω6 and/or Cω7) and C as major cellular fatty acids. The DNA G+C contents of strains SUEMI03, SUEMI08 and SUEMI10 were 61.6, 60.4 and 61.9 mol%, respectively. Strains SUEMI03, SUEMI08 and SUEMI10 presented less than 60 % interstrain DNA relatedness and less than 30 % relatedness with respect to DSM 6445. In spite of their common geographical origin, the three strains isolated in this study presented several phenotypic differences, presenting phenotypic profiles highly divergent from that of . Therefore, we propose that the strains isolated in this study represent three novel species of the genus , named sp. nov. (type strain SUEMI03  = LMG 26151  = CECT 7838), sp. nov. (type strain SUEMI08  = LMG 26150  = CECT 7839) and sp. nov. (type strain SUEMI10  = LMG 26149  = CECT 7840).
