abstract= Bacterial strain HPK2-2T was isolated from soil adjacent to the caldera of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. HPK2-2T is a chemoorganoheterotroph that shows optimal growth at 50 °C (range 45–55 °C) and pH 8.0 (range 5.0–10.0). Sequence analysis of the 16S subunit of the rRNA gene showed that HPK2-2T is most closely related to the type strain of Rubrobactertaiwanensis (ATCC BAA-406T), with which it shared 94.5 % sequence identity. The major fatty acids detected in HPK2-2T were C18 : 0 14-methyl and C16 : 0 12-methyl; internally branched fatty acids such as these are characteristic of the genus Rubrobacter . The only respiratory quinone detected was MK-8, which is the major respiratory quinone for all members of the family Rubrobacteraceae examined thus far. We propose that HPK2-2T represents a novel species of the genus Rubrobacter , for which we propose the name Rubrobacter spartanus (type strain HPK2-2T; DSM 102139T; LMG 29988T).,
