Solimonas fluminis sp. nov., isolated from a freshwater river Lee, Yunho and Lee, Boeun and Lee, Kangseok and Jeon, Che Ok,, 68, 2755-2759 (2018), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002865, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A strictly aerobic, catalase-negative and oxidase-positive bacterium (HR-BBT), isolated from a water sample of the Han River, was taxonomically studied using a polyphasic approach. Cells were Gram-stain-negative motile rods with a polar flagellum. The strain grew at 20–35 °C and pH 7–8 and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain HR-BBT belonged to the family Nevskiaceae in the phylum Proteobacteria and formed a phylogenic lineage with members of the genus Solimonas . A comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain HR-BBT and the type strains of closely related species of the genus Solimonas showed that it shared highest sequence similarity with Solimonas terrae KIS83-12T (94.9 %), Solimonas soli DCY12T (94.8 %), Solimonas variicoloris MN28T (94.4 %) and Solimonas flava CW-KD 4T (94.2 %). The fatty acids of the strain consisted of summed features 8 (comprising C18 : 1 ω6c and/or C18 : 1 ω7c) and 3 (comprising C16 : 1 ω6c and/or C16 : 1 ω7c), C16 : 0 and C12 : 0 as major components. The polar lipids comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified phospholipids and an unidentified lipid. Ubiquinone-8 was detected as the sole respiratory quinone. The DNA G+C content of strain HR-BBT was 68.5 mol%. Based on the genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic analyses, strain HR-BBT represents a novel species of the genus Solimonas , for which the name Solimonas fluminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HR-BBT (=KACC 19410T=JCM 32268T)., language=, type=
