Abstract

Two Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped and endospore-forming bacteria that represent a single species, designated strains KJ1-10-99 and KJ1-10-93, were isolated from a saline desert of Little Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, India. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the isolates belonged to the family and were closely related to each other with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99.9 %. However, these two isolates formed a novel phylogenetic branch within this family. Both strains were aerobic, catalase and oxidase positive, and could grow optimally at 37 °C and pH 9. Further, strains KJ1-10-99 and KJ1-10-93 grew optimally at a NaCl concentration of 7.5 and 15 % (w/v), respectively. Both strains shared highest sequence similarity with IEB3 (96.90 %) followed by NH3 (96.3 %) and ANL-iso4 (96.3 %). The major cellular fatty acids were -C, -C C, and -C. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol in both strains. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 in both the strains. The peptidoglycan contained -diaminopimelic acid (-DAP) as the diagnostic diamino acid. The DNA GC content of strains KJ1-10-99 and KJ1-10-93 were 48.7 and 48.9 mol% respectively. Both strains could be distinguished from closest phylogenetic neighbours based on a number of phenotypic properties. On the basis of polyphasic taxonomic analysis and phylogenetic data, we conclude that the strains KJ1-10-99 (=LMG 29918=KCTC 33878) and KJ1-10-93 (=LMG 29919=KCTC 33877) represent a novel species of a new genus in the family , order , for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.
