Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, thermophilic bacterium, designated ZQ18-1, was isolated from a high temperature daqu sample collected from the sesame-flavour liquor-making process. Oval endospores were formed at the centre of cells with swollen sporangia. The isolate was able to grow at temperatures of 20–60 °C (optimum growth at 50 °C), at pH 4–9 (optimum growth at pH 8) and in the presence of 0–10 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum growth with 2 % NaCl). Glucose and galactose were major cell-wall sugars, and -diaminopimelic acid was the diagnostic amino acid. The major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and three glycolipids. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C and iso-C, and the predominant menaquinone was MK-7. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain ZQ18-1 was most closely related to DLS-06, YN3, 607, ATCC 53909, UG-2, DSM 11697 and NRIC 1133. Strain ZQ18-1 showed low DNA–DNA relatedness (40.7, 23.1, 46.5, 27.2, 45.6, 33.7 and 55.1 %) with the strains mentioned above. Based on morphological characteristics, chemotaxonomic characteristics, DNA–DNA hybridization data and physiological properties, strain ZQ18-1 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ZQ18-1 (=DSM 28236=CICC 10824). An emended description of the genus is provided.
