Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, smooth, opaque, white-pigmented, helical-shaped, catalase- and oxidase-positive bacterium that was motile by means of bipolar tufts of flagella and grew under microaerophilic conditions, was isolated from a soil sample of a reed pond in Shangqiu, Henan province, PR China. The strain, designated THG-SQE6, grows well at 25–42 °C, pH 6.5–7.5 and in the presence of 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl. hylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain THG-SQE6 was most closely related to IAM 13944 (97.23 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The DNA G+C content of strain THG-SQE6 was 53.10 mol%. In DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, the DNA–DNA relatedness between strain THG-SQE6 and its closest phylogenetic neighbour was below 62.6 %. The predominant isoprenoid quinone detected in strain THG-SQE6 was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, an unidentified phospholipid, an unidentified aminolipid and two unidentified lipids. The major fatty acids were identified as C 3-OH, C, C, summed feature 3 and summed feature 8. These data support the affiliation of strain THG-SQE6 to the genus . Based on findings from the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic characterization of strain THG-SQE6, a novel species of the genus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is THG-SQE6 (=KACC 18846=CCTCC AB 2016081).
