Caenimonas koreensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from activated sludge Ryu, Seung Hyun and Lee, Dae Sung and Park, Minjeong and Wang, Qian and Jang, Ho Hee and Park, Woojun and Jeon, Che Ok,, 58, 1064-1068 (2008), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.65416-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain EMB320T, was isolated from activated sludge performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal in a sequencing batch reactor. The isolate was strictly aerobic and non-motile. Growth was observed between 10 and 35 °C (optimum 30 °C) and between pH 6.0 and 9.0 (optimum pH 7.0–8.0). The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain EMB320T were C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. Strain EMB320T contained ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) as the major respiratory quinone system and 2-hydroxyputrescine and putrescine as the major polyamines, which suggests that it belongs to the Betaproteobacteria. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 62.7 mol%. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain EMB320T formed a phyletic lineage distinct from other genera within the family Comamonadaceae. On the basis of chemotaxonomic data and molecular properties, strain EMB320T represents a novel genus and species within the family Comamonadaceae, for which the name Caenimonas koreensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Caenimonas koreensis is EMB320T (=KCTC 12616T =DSM 17982T)., language=, type=
