Pseudoxanthomonas sacheonensis sp. nov., isolated from BTEX-contaminated soil in Korea, transfer of Stenotrophomonas dokdonensis Yoon et al. 2006 to the genus Pseudoxanthomonas as Pseudoxanthomonas dokdonensis comb. nov. and emended description of the genus Pseudoxanthomonas Lee, Dae Sung and Ryu, Seung Hyun and Hwang, Hyun Wook and Kim, Young-Ju and Park, Minjeong and Lee, Jung Ro and Lee, Sang-Suk and Jeon, Che Ok,, 58, 2235-2240 (2008), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.65678-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain BD-c54T, was isolated from BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes)-contaminated soil in Sacheon, Korea. Growth of strain BD-c54T was observed at 15–35 °C (optimum 25–30 °C) and pH 6.0–9.5 (optimum pH 7.0–8.0). The predominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, iso-C11 : 0 3-OH, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C11 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0. The strain contained large amounts of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol and a small amount of an unknown amino-group-containing polar lipid as polar lipids. The major quinone was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 67.5 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BD-c54T formed a tight phylogenetic lineage with Pseudoxanthomonas yeongjuensis GR12-1T within the genus Pseudoxanthomonas and was most closely related to P. yeongjuensis GR12-1T and [Stenotrophomonas] dokdonensis DS-16T, with 98.3 and 96.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain BD-c54T and P. yeongjuensis GR12-1T was 24.5 %. On the basis of chemotaxonomic data and molecular properties, strain BD-c54T represents a novel species within the genus Pseudoxanthomonas, for which the name Pseudoxanthomonas sacheonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BD-c54T (=KCTC 22080T =DSM 19373T). In addition, the transfer of Stenotrophomonas dokdonensis to Pseudoxanthomonas as Pseudoxanthomonas dokdonensis comb. nov. and an emended description of the genus Pseudoxanthomonas are proposed., language=, type=
