Abstract

A bacterial strain, designated TSBY 57, was isolated during a study on the phylogenetic diversity of culturable bacteria from alpine permafrost in Tianshan Mountains, China, and was classified by means of a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The novel strain was found to belong to the genus and was distinguished from recognized species of this genus. Strain TSBY 57 grew aerobically, at 0–30 °C, with 0–1.5 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 6–8.Cells were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods. Compared with the reference strains, the novel strain was psychrotolerant. The predominant fatty acids were summed feature 3 (consisting of Cω7 and/or Cω6), anteiso-C and iso-C.The sole respiratory quinone was MK-6.Phosphatidylethanolamine was predominant in the polar lipid profile of strain TSBY 57. These chemotaxonomic traits were in good agreement with the characteristics of the genus . On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain TSBY 57 was a member of the genus and was closely related to DSM 16811 (99.0 %), DCY78 (98.6 %) and H1 (98.5 %). However, DNA–DNA reassociation values between strain TSBY 57 and DSM 16811, DCY78 and H1 were 39.5 ± 2.6, 37.7 ± 1.0 and 37.3 ± 1.1 %, respectively. The G+C content of the DNA was 34.4 ± 0.2 mol%. Based on data from this polyphasic taxonomic study, strain TSBY 57 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TSBY 57 ( = NRRL B-51307 = CCTCC AB 207182).
