sp. nov., isolated from the Godavari river, India Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, strain PRD07, was isolated from Godavari river, India during the world’s largest spiritual and religious mass bathing event ‘Kumbh Mela’. Molecular analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis reveals the distinct phylogenetic positioning of strain PRD07 within the genus . The strain demonstrated highest sequence similarity to DSM 44264 (97.9 %), DSM 44531 (97.1 %) and 96.7 % with all other members of the genus . The G+C content of PRD07 was 68.5 mol% () and the DNA–DNA hybridization depicts 61.09 % genomic relatedness with DSM 44264. Chemotaxonomic assessment of strain PRD07 suggested presence of C (31.6 %), C (3.5 %) and Cω9 (58.6 %) as the major cellular fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain PRD07 were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and glycophospholipid. Differentiating molecular, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain PRD07 with its closest relatives necessitated the description of strain PRD07 as a novel species of genus for which the name sp. nov., has been proposed. The type strain is PRD07 (=MCC 3388=KCTC 39803=LMG 29598).
