Abstract

Obligately alkaliphilic and halophilic strains, designated In2-9 and D2-7, were isolated from a fermented indigo ( Lour.) liquor sample obtained from a craft centre in Date City, Hokkaido, Japan. The 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny suggested that strain In2-9 is a member of the genus with the closest relatives being the alkaliphilic species of the genus , JCM 9152 (96.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and DSM 485 (96.5 %). Cells of the isolate stained Gram-positive and were facultatively anaerobic straight rods that were motile by peritrichous flagella. Strain In2-9 grew between 13 and 45 °C with optimum growth at approximately 35–37 °C. The isolates grew in the pH range of 8–12 with optimum growth at pH 10. The isoprenoid quinone detected was menaquinone-6 (MK-6) and the DNA G+C content was 39.4 mol%. The whole-cell fatty acid profile mainly (>10 %) consisted of iso-C, anteiso-C and C. Spore shape and location and chemotaxonomic characteristics revealed that the isolates were distinctly different from phylogenetic neighbouring alkaliphilic species of the genus . On the basis of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic data, the isolates represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is In2-9 (=JCM 30831=NCIMB 14982), and strain D2-7 is an additional strain of the species.
