Camelliibacillus cellulosilyticus gen. nov., sp. nov., a cellulose-degrading bacterium isolated from tea Lin, Pei and Yan, Zheng-Fei and Yi, Tae-Hoo,, 68, 1867-1873 (2018), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002755, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-positive, oxidase- and catalase-positive, endospore-forming, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium (THG-YT1T) was isolated from green tea. Growth occurred at 10–40 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C), at pH 6–8 (optimum, 7) and at 0–2 % NaCl (optimum, 0 %). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, phylogenetic analyses showed that strain THG-YT1T formed a distinct lineage with respect to closely related genera in the family Bacillaceae . Strain THG-YT1T was most closely related to the genera within the families Pullulanibacillus , Scopulibacillus , Tuberibacillus and Caenibacillu, with levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type species of members of these genera of less than 95.0 %. The menaquinone was MK-7. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids, two unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified glycolipids. The major fatty acids of strain THG-YT1T were C18 : 3 ω7c and anteiso-C17 : 0. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was A1γ with meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid plus alanine and glutamic acid. The cell-wall sugar was glucose. The DNA G+C content of strain THG-YT1T was determined to be 53.5 mol%. Based on the data presented here, strain THG-YT1T represents a novel species of a new genus of the family Bacillaceae , for which the name Camelliibacillus cellulosilyticus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Camelliibacillus cellulosilyticus THG-YT1T(=KACC 19471T=CGMCC 1.16306T)., language=, type=
