Abstract:
A novel actinomycete, designated strain 5414T-18 T , was isolated from an air sample collected from the Taean region, Korea. The strain contained oxidase and grew in the presence of 7 % NaCl. A neighbour-joining tree constructed on the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain 5414T-18 T is a member of the genus Terrabacter , sharing 97.8–98.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to type strains of species of the genus Terrabacter (98.3 % sequence similarity with Terrabacter lapilli LR-26 T ). It contained peptidoglycan containing ll -diaminopimelic acid of A3 γ type, with three glycine residues as the interpeptide bridge. Whole-cell sugars were glucose, mannose and ribose. Mycolic acids were absent. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H 4 ). The major fatty acids ( 〉 7 % of total fatty acids) were iso-C 15 : 0 , iso-C 16 : 0 , C 17 : 1 ω 8 c and iso-C 14 : 0 . The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unidentified phosphoglycolipid. The DNA G+C content of the type strain was 73 mol%. Strain 5414T-18 T exhibited DNA–DNA relatedness levels of 44, 43, 39, 34 and 34 % to the type strains of Terrabacter lapilli, Terrabacter aerolatus , Terrabacter terrae , Terrabacter tumescens and Terracoccus luteus , respectively. These findings suggest that strain 5414T-18 T represents a novel species within the genus Terrabacter . The name Terrabacter aeriphilus sp. nov. is proposed for this novel species, with the type strain 5414T-18 T (=KACC 20693 T =DSM 18563 T ).
