Oryzihumus terrae sp. nov., isolated from soil and emended description of the genus Oryzihumus Lim, Jun-Muk and Kim, Soo-Jin and Hamada, Moriyuki and Ahn, Jae-Hyung and Weon, Hang-Yeon and Suzuki, Ken-ichiro and Ahn, Tae-Young and Kwon, Soon-Wo,, 64, 2395-2399 (2014), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.060897-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-flagellated bacterium, designated KIS22-12T, was isolated from a soil sample of Baengnyeong Island in Onjin county, Republic of Korea. Cells were non-spore-forming cocci showing catalase-positive and oxidase-negative reactions. Growth of strain KIS22-12T was observed between 10 and 35 °C (optimum, 28–30 °C), between pH 5.0 and 9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and with 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain KIS22-12T contained MK-8(H4) as the predominant menaquinone, and C17 : 1ω8c, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids. Strain KIS22-12T contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, one unknown aminophospholipid, one unknown aminolipid, two unknown phospholipids and one unknown lipid. The peptidoglycan type was A1γ. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 75.0 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KIS22-12T formed a phyletic lineage with Oryzihumus leptocrescens KV-628T. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the two strains was 96.5 %. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular properties, strain KIS22-12T represents a novel species within the genus Oryzihumus , for which the name Oryzihumus terrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KIS22-12T ( = KACC 16543T = DSM 27161T = NBRC 109596T). An emended description of the genus Oryzihumus is also provided., language=, type=
