sp. nov., isolated from a freshwater creek, and emended description of genus Brettar . 2002 Free

Abstract

A bacterial strain designated TAPG2 was isolated from a freshwater creek in Taiwan and characterized using the polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells of TAPG2 were Gram-stain negative, aerobic, motile, non-spore forming, short rods surrounded by a thick capsules and forming cream to dark-green colonies. Growth occurred at 15–37 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C), at pH 6.5–8 (optimum, pH 7) and with 0–1 % NaCl (optimum, 0.5 %). The major fatty acids (>10 %) of TAPG2 were summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6), C and Cω7. The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an uncharacterized aminophospholipid, an uncharacterized phospholipid, an uncharacterized aminolipid and an uncharacterized lipid. The polyamine profile was composed of the major compound putrescine and moderate amounts of spermidine. The only isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The DNA G+C content was 53.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that TAPG2 represented a member of the genus and was most closely related to GR5 and A62-14B with 98.6 and 98.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence identities, respectively. However, DNA–DNA hybridization values of TAPG2 with type strains of the species with validly published names were lower than 30 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic inference, demonstrate that TAPG2 should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is presented. The type strain is TAPG2 (=BCRC 81054=LMG 30056=KCTC 52815).
