Abstract

A Gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated J1 was isolated from deep-sea mud collected from the South China Sea and subjected to polyphasic taxonomic investigation. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that J1 clustered with the type strains of , and and exhibited a range of similarity of 93.9–97.0 % to members of the genus . The DNA G+C content was 36.7 mol%. Chemotaxonomic analysis showed no quinones, and the cell wall contained -diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid for strain J1. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C and anteiso-C. Strain J1 was positive for catalase activity and negative for oxidase activity. On the basis of phylogenetic position and phenotypic properties, strain J1 represents a novel species of the genus and the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is J1 ( = CGMCC 1.10434 = JCM 17099).
