Abstract:
A novel Gram-stain-positive, motile, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated YIM 93174 T , was isolated from a salt field in Korea. Cells of this strain were rod-shaped and formed pale tangerine colonies and grew at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimal growth at pH 7.0), at 15–45 °C (optimum 28–37 °C) and at salinities of 0–10 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0–2 % NaCl). Some phenotypic characters allowed differentiation of strain YIM 93174 T from its nearest phylogenetic relatives. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain YIM 93174 T belongs to the genus Bacillus , exhibiting the highest level of sequence similarity with the type strain of Bacillus humi (95.7 %), followed by those of Bacillus alkalitelluri s (94.9 %) and Bacillus litoralis (94.5 %). The major fatty acids were iso-C 15 : 0 , anteiso-C 15 : 0 and iso-C 16 : 0 . The cell-wall peptidoglycan was of the A1γ type, containing meso -diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The genomic DNA G+C content was 36.9 mol% and the predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7. The major polar lipids of strain YIM 93174 T were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and two unknown phospholipids. On the basis of the evidence from this polyphasic study, strain YIM 93174 T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus , for which the name Bacillus luteolus sp. nov. is proposed, with YIM 93174 T ( = DSM 22388 T = KCTC 13210 T = CCTCC AA 208068 T ) as the type strain.
