Paracandidimonas soli gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from soil Kämpfer, Peter and Busse, Hans-Jürgen and McInroy, John A. and Glaeser, Stefanie P.,, 67, 1740-1745 (2017), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001852, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A slightly yellow-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, strain IMT-305T, was isolated from soil in Alabama, USA. Phylogenetic analysis based on the nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence placed the strain in between the genera Pusillimonas , Parapusillimonas and Candidimonas with highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strain of Parapusillimonas granuli (97.5 %) and Candidimonas nitroreducens (97.4 %). The genomic G+C content of strain IMT-305T was 63.9 mol%. The main cellular fatty acids were C18:1ω7c, C17:0 cyclo, C16:0 and C16:1 ω7c/iso-C15:0 2-OH (detected as summed feature 3). The polyamine pattern of strain IMT-305T contained the major compound putrescine and the betaproteobacterial diagnostic 2-hydroxyputrescine and the major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-8. Predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified aminophospholipid and an unidentified lipid lacking any functional group. Based on phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic analyses a novel species within a new genus, Paracandidimonas soli gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain of Paracandidimonas soli is IMT-305T (=DSM 100048T=CIP 110902T=LMG 28740T=CCM 8599T)., language=, type=
