Mycetocolazhadangensis sp. nov., isolated from snow Shen, Liang and Liu, Yongqin and Yao, Tandong and Kang, Shichang and Wang, Yanan and Jiao, Nianzhi and Liu, Hongcan and Zhou, Yuguang and Xu, Baiqing and Liu, Xiaobo,, 63, 3375-3378 (2013), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.047159-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, short rod-shaped bacterium, strain ZD1-4T, was isolated from the Zhadang Glacier snow pit. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate showed highest similarity (98.8 %) to that of Mycetocola manganoxydans MB1-14T. The major fatty acids of strain ZD1-4T were anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, C18 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. It possessed diphosphatidylglycerol as one of the major polar lipids, and MK-10 and MK-11 as the predominant isoprenoid quinones. The DNA G+C content of strain ZD1-4T was 63.8±0.2 mol% (T m). A number of phenotypic characteristics distinguished this bacterium from the type strains of other species of the genus Mycetocola . Moreover, the novel isolate showed only approximately 50 % DNA–DNA relatedness with M. manganoxydans MB1-14T. According to these genotypic and phenotypic data, it is evident that strain ZD1-4T represents a novel species of the genus Mycetocola , for which the name Mycetocola zhadangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ZD1-4T ( = KACC 16570T = CGMCC 1.12042T)., language=, type=
