Abstract

A Gram-reaction-negative, yellow-pigmented strain, designated EX36, was characterized using a polyphasic approach comprising phylogenetic, morphological and genotypic analyses. The endophytic strain was isolated from Zn/Cd-accumulating in Arnoldstein, Austria. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene demonstrated that the novel strain is most closely related to members of the genus (95 % sequence similarity with ). The genomic DNA G+C content was 47.2 mol%. The predominant quinone was and the major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (iso-C 2-OH and/or Cω7), Cω5, iso-C 3-OH and iso-C. On the basis of its phenotypic and genotypic properties, strain EX36 should be classified as a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EX36 ( = DSM 26130 = LMG 27272).
